For what it's worth, I *always* install a PCI if possible.  However, I
totally disagree that installers should touch the Registry... "Here,
sir, let me optimize your TCP/IP settings for you..."  "Why, you
little punk... my machine doesn't boot anymore!  I'm suing you, your
company, your parents..."  Don't laugh, we get enough of this just
installing NICs and some software! :-)

Errr... I don't *have* a "TcpWindowSize" key *anywhere* in my
Registry...

Thank you, Frank, for passing this along.  It hasn't helped much yet,
but I do appreciate the thought!
