Well, the results are encouraging. It looks like I can rule out network
connectivity according to the output (I think).  Here's how the transaction
looked:

*Command: init
INITIALIZATION

   ARInitialization  results
ReturnCode:  OK
Status List : 0 items

Command: log
Control record:
   Authentication string () :
   User name () : xxxxx
   Password () : xxxxx
   Locale[.charSet] () :
   Time zone () :
   Server () : xxxxxx

Command: ssp
SET SERVER PORT
The port number of server (0): 1443
Using private socket? (0):

   ARSetServerPort  results
ReturnCode:  OK
Status List : 0 items

Command: ver
VERIFY USER

   ARVerifyUser  results
ReturnCode:  OK
Admin flag:  FALSE
SubAdmin flag:  FALSE
Customize flag:  FALSE
Status List : 0 items*

What next? :-D
