- Yeah this has happened to me as well, the problem is GetTCP doesn't add the
- new messages as it is reading them, only when it is finished! I think the way
- round it is to run GetTCP without connecting, this will add all the messages
- it's received so far, then you can connect up & carry on.

- Hope this helps,
