I was afraid I wasn't explaining myself well enough to get my points
across.  I guess I really did need to include that sample project in
order to get my idea across. Thanks for your comments, as they were very
encouraging and enlightening.  

You lost me on the last paragraph though.  I was following you right up
to that point.  I'm not familiar with telnet as I never have had an
occasion to use it. Perhaps you can explain briefly what line-oriented
protocol is and line terminators.  What are those?  Could you show me
some examples?
I'm not familiar with CR-LF. What's that?
