I will come up with a way to test for this in the application.

I see the packets being sent in tcpdump from the sending application,
but they don't show up in the receiving side until something else comes
in behind them. For example if you look at the client and server trace
that I sent yesterday side by side you will see how the timings line up.
The same packets are shown in each trace. Data needs to be received by
the board to unlock it, sending does not seem to have any effect.

I appreciate the help.
