#2576: Handling of terminal connection sequence on WNG
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  bbrice   |       Owner:  esprings   
     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new        
 Priority:  normal   |   Milestone:             
Component:  general  |     Version:  0.9.2      
 Severity:  normal   |    Keywords:  WNG, socket
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 The old Wireless Network Gateway is coded to ignore certain specific
 "garbage" that can come over the socket when an MIT first connects.
 Recent changes on the modem have caused changes to the specific garbage
 bytes, which has the end result of a failure on the WNG to recognize
 TerminalID packets when they arrive from the MIT.  The connection logic
 must be generalized so it will ignore any data that precedes the
 TerminalID packet.

 An additional enhancement to be folded into this effort is to modify the
 WNG buffering of incoming messages to eliminate an extra buffer allocation
 that's currently done for each incoming packet.  WNG should allocate a
 buffer at connection time, and reuse that buffer space for each socket
 read.  WNG should de-allocate this buffer only when the socket connection
 is ended.
