I think I should have thought about it a bit more before sending that
off.  It doesn't really make that much difference.

However, I've been fortunate enough to work on SNA communications
between an AS/400 and a DOS PC.  Part of the protocol stack used (SNA?
LU 6.2?)  sends and receives the data in specified size packets, not
as a bytestream like TCP.
