Just noticed one possibly significant header from the article
collected from zen.

        Lines: 1

Also where you have '0A 0A' I have '0D 0A 0D 0A'

so certainly something odd with that article.

My old notebook still had dos and ka9q but it died early last year
and dos hasn't been installed on replacement. I can try from Win98
though with Hyperterm or Putty but no idea how to drive either of
them for this particular job.
