Sorry, I should have said: "If anyone continues to get errors..."

Ya, just noticed that.  Fixed now.  Thanks.

Perhaps I'm playing a little fast and loose with the term "port".
I don't expect people are interested in the details but I've ported the
checksum generation code and place it in a DLL.  The network code I
re-wrote.

The "port" I have done is pretty specific to my needs.
I am writing an email processing program that runs on the end user's
computer, intercepts their mail and processes it (similar to Norton).
This is a bit different from the server based system that you created.
I am sure your code would port quite nicely.  It's just that that would not
fit my needs in this case.

In any case: I have fixed the byte-order bug.
If anyone continues to get bad packets please let me know.  It is not my
intention to make a pain of myself.
