To be perfectly honest, I've never actually used D-RATS through the
dongle :)

I'm a little confused because some people seem to report 100% success
with complex things like file transfers and others seem to report broken
packets even with things like chat.

My guess is that there is some tuning to be done on the socket that
DVTool listens on, but I haven't had a chance to test it and report the
findings to Robin.  I'll do that when I get a chance.
