Thank you for your e-mail, and for replying so quickly. Regarding the 
recv() timeouts: no problem, it's easy enough to work around. On your 
TODO list, file this one under things to do when you've finally got that 
cat.

I think that's the last of my Poco problems out of the way. I'll give it 
a clean build and test, and send an ITP either this evening or tomorrow.

Thanks once again for your help,

Dave.
