[Mono-dev] .Net 2.0 Question

Hi Seb,

I'm gonna start some work on that now (I have thankfully got myself a
copy of VS2005 and .NET 2.0 as well now - so that is the spec I will
work to)

First task I think is to standardise between the two classes (.NET and
Mono) so that (for example) handshake is intiated on the command,
rather than just when data is attempted to be sent (as it is atm)...

Anyway, I'll start looking and send another email in a bit.

Martin
