oh, great idea!  a misconfigured stateful firewall can screw up TCP
window scaling.  You can test this by disabling window scaling on
either end (exactly how is platform dependent, on Linux it's usually
"sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_adv_win_scale=0"

I should add an FAQ entry with these suggestions.

usually comes from bad judgement.
