Okay, I'm feeling kinda dumb (not an unusual condition).

My 'man traceroute' says nothing about using tcp and there's no -T option. Does 
my Ubuntu box have the Microsoft version or something?

Could someone tutor me?

NEVERMIND: Turns out you have to have 'tcptraceroute'. And 'man traceroute' 
won't help a bit learning that. What man doesn't know, google does. But it 
still doesn't have a -T option.

Thanks,
