server encoding

[Kevin Williams]

So if .NET defaults to UTF8 encoding on everything, the server
messages would be OK because ASCII characters encoded as UTF8 don't
change, correct? I'm trying to write a *server*, not a client, so I
just want to make sure that I do the right things internally.

Thanks for the help! I can't wait to get this running.
