				.'<p>This patch can solve your problems if you have network connection dropping too much'
				.' packets. In standard case the Linux kernel will correctly increase our round-trip-time'
				.' of connection slowing the transfer rate up to the unusable state.</p>'
				.' <p>After applying this patch you can set your maximal round-trip-time in file'
				.' &quot;<b>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rto_max</b>&quot;, it is expressed in <tt>Hz</tt>'
				.' units (<tt>100-per-second</tt> on <i>x86</i> platform). You may need also to enlarge'
				.' your maximal retry count in &quot;<b>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_retries2</b>&quot;,'
				.' otherwise <u>your</u> machine will reject the connection as it will have to retry'
				.' the packets more than in sane states.</p>'
				.' <p><font color="red">Please use this feature very carefully! You are violating'
				.' <tt>RFC</tt> standards and you can get your network administrators to be very angry!</font></p>'
