    What’s wrong with that? I regularly initiate conversations wih:
    ME: ACK
    OTHERPERSON: ACK SYN
    ME: ACK
    .
    Works like a charm.

    Hate to be technical… but it’s
    a SYN
    b SYN,ACK
    a ACK
    b ACK

    Not if you’re being smurfed. Then it’s "where the hell did all those damn ACKS come out of?"
