Thanks Miles, I think you are right regarding them being artifacts in the data stream. I have been searching the Net for similar problems but there is surprisingly little around for fsockopen(), even php.net's manul page doesn't have any notes contributed by any users.
I will certainly try the the default of 1K and see what I get.

The characters I saw were similar to yours, except that I saw fd0 (the floppy!?) instead of fd6. Could they be artifacts in the data stream? Does the initial page, www.ski-info-online.com/skiResort-print1.php?id=Alpbach fetch data from a database? from a flat file? What happens if you fetch the default length of 1k?
