New Post: Dealing with "prompts"

@All,

Well, Codeplex hosed that reply up pretty well.

Let me know if the A & B pointers are confusing...

Also, buried in the above is a subtle 'cry for help' if anyone out there has gotten big data back from a host AND gotten this to work:

I'd love to get out of the timeout business, but today, I need it... :(

Always happy to share!
