Well, I sent in a minor item which was acked by both authors about
a week after the book hit the stands, so, yes, there are errata, and,
no, they're not in that directory.

[FWIW: page 56, paragraph beginning "A TCP conversation" near
midpage. Fourth line. "an initial open request packet in TCP does not have
the set in the..." should read "an initial open request packet in TCP
does not have the RST bit set in the...". As I said, a minor item.]
