Found no end in Windows and Novell, both companies really good at sorting it.  Found a blinder in Novell's IP stack a few years ago, had one of their programmers in our office for a few days finding and reprogramming part of the stack (they couldn't replicate our environment - we had the world's largest tree) - that was an eye opener...

So how did they fix it?
