It might be useful to try to use tcpdump to see what the `offending'
packet contains - RTFM tcpdump(8) [sometimes tcpdump(1)]. Also,
netstat on the Linux system will show you whether Linux thinks the Tek
is acknowledging the packets it's sending (if it is then there's
almost certainly a bug in the Tek as well as any possible bug in
Linux).
