One of your non-FreeBSD boxes incorrectly implements RFC 1323
and RFC 1644, or incorrectly implements TCP/IP, since these
extensions are supposed to be invisible.
Modify /etc/sysconfig "tcp_extensions" line and reboot the FreeBSD
box.
If you have a terminal server, most companies now have updates that
include support for transaction TCP, etc.. This is a better fix
than disabling it on FreeBSD, if you have that option.
