And when someone gets around to fixing that, please also make the
following link corrections:

  Bikram Bakshi, Krishna, P., Pradhan, D.K., and Vaidya, N.H. 
  (Texas A&M University) 
  Performance of TCP over Wireless Networks , 
  17th Intl. Conf. on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS),
  Baltimore, May, 1997. 

fix
http://www.cs.tamu.edu/faculty/vaidya/papers/mobile-computing/TCP_paper.ps.Z
to
http://www.cs.tamu.edu/faculty/vaidya/Vaidya-mobile.html

(okay, the postscript's no longer compressed, but .html pages are
often more permanent than non-html objects. Honestly, linking to 
objects direct rather than to the pages referencing those objects
is considered less polite, but more importantly leads to more
maintenance work in the long run and less discovery, and I'm sure
e.g. Sally will eventually agree wrt maintaining her field-of-research
pages...)

running a link checker every so often and doing maintenance wouldn't
hurt; linking to pages linking to objects decreases the maintenance
and allows easy discovery of related work.

Well, I'm posting the changes to be made to save the effort.
