Cheers :) Your code shows I'm basically on the right track.

One thing I can't be sure about is the buffer address in the packet.
You treat this as a far pointer while my reading of the RBIL suggests
this is a flat address. Has your code been tested?

And a question for the near future; the 64bit address, how is that
represented?
