I just tried to replace the "\n" with "\r\l", but to no avail. The same problem remains. I also watched the exact reply given by my (working) c++ program, and that terminates its linex with 0xa, a new line. Apart from that, you are probably right, I should read the RFC. I hoped I could soare the hassle, since I am not planning to right something particular sophisticated. cheers Mathias
