here is the table:
int 10 type
generic emulator
4.3.0/OpenBSD 3.4 no generic "bad cksm"
4.3.0/Linux 2.4.23 "bad cksm" "bad cksm"
4.3.99.14/OpenBSD 3.4 no generic "bad cksm"
4.3.99.14/Linux 2.4.23 n/a n/a
haven't tried 4.3.99.14 under Linux. tests was made via linux
livecd.
think there are lot of people running 4.3.99.14 under Linux, so
we can just ask...
