    Hello all,
    
    Just to let you know I've tested all 3 recently posted programs that exploit
    this IGMP frag bug in win98 on two win98 machines (not SE) using winsock
    ver. 2.2 and one win95 machine whose tcp/ip stack was upgraded to 2.2 and
    they all remained fine (this was at my work's dept lan, no firewalls etc
    etc).
    The win95 machine did get just a little slugish for a few seconds when using
    "kod".
    
    I also tested them on my home network
    (tcp/ip just through a local hub) with the same results against a win98
    machine (winsock 2.2).
    
    The binaries were compiled on two diff linux systems.
    The one at work is a slackware 3.5 system with
    gcc version egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)
    and my system at home is a RH linux 6.0 system with
    gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2
    release)
    
    All programs compiled without any problem.
    
    So all the win9x ppl: no need for total panic ;-)
    
    Anyone else with any test results?
