>(above and beyond the TCP/IP 1500 situation)?


Yes.  That was the intention behind offering it.  The catches are that
it only works under AIX, the client and server have to be on the same
machine, and the client has to run as root.  There's also a limit of 10
sessions, though that normally shouldn't be a problem.
