Not so much a question of dealing with TCP (this is easily handles by the 
client on ALL system), but what is done after the Client passes the link to 
another program (such as a Log file).   Of course, if you depreciate and only 
use the numbers 0-9 (plus "i" for Informational file), the whole thing becomes 
moot.

MS-DOS uses ASCII, is there any other encoding which is used when using
tools which deal with TCP in DOS?
