The question you need to answer is this: what does the far end want to
hear, and how does it tell you 'success' or 'fail'?

Sounds more like an error on the DSPLY operation.  When you say
'error' what do you mean?  Program message (white message interrupting
the program) or a message back from the far side in the buffer or
something else?  If it's a white message, what line number?

It took me a long time to realise that almost all of my problems are a
result of me not understanding how the other end wanted me to behave. 
One thing I found very helpful was to use a network sniffer (I use
Ethereal) to trace a working transaction.  Then at least I could see
what was supposed to go between me and them.
