The latest version is attached. I *think* this is nearly read to go. I know that there are some things outstanding (such as the coding style) but I think I have the functionality sorted, including the network failure restarts but I'd appreciate it if others can test this out - I've tried various failure modes and it seems to work but there will always be test cases I've not tried.
