You are talking program protocol, not TCP/IP protocol.  Which means, however
their server is sending it.

It looks to me from this little snippet that they are actually sending the
text "move to port 999".  And you actually send the text "understood".

In which case, when you receive the text "move to port " you need to grab
the last part of that message and convert it to a number (in the example
999) and send a response string of "understood", close the connect then
initiate a new connection to the same server on port 999.

Without any more details of the protocol you are using I'm not 100%
positive, but from the description you are giving, that seems to be their
protocol.

Its these two that I'm not sure of:

s-msg to client 'move to port 999'
c-msg to server 'understood'

Do we code a  "getservbyname" to get the port number that the server moved
to? And what do we use to send the msg "understood"?
