>Dan:

Speaking from experience with other TCP/IP/Sockets
libraries, but not the AS/400's:

That's the way it works.  If you have to know how much
data to expect at the receiver, you must devise some
header of your own design that conveys this information
to the receiver from the sender.

I don't know the socket library that you are using, but
for many you can control (a little) some of the behaviour
using setsockopt() calls. See the documentation for setsockopt(),
re: TCP_NODELAY, SO_SNDBUF, and SO_RCVBUF.

The reason for the different results on different machines
can be explained by having different defaults for some of
the above values (or equivalent/others) in the TCP/IP stack
that you are using.

Good luck!
JLM
