According to our code in interface.c, we add a newline ('\n') if
it's a network connection, so I assume the internet servers do the
same.

Local connection:  Send '\r' at end of line.
Internet connection:  Send "\r\n" at end of line.

Checkng what the x-spider code (server port) is doing:  It is
getting the '\r' data from the transmit routines and sending it out
verbatim.  I'm adding a bit of code to add a '\n' to the end of the
line in x_spider.c.  Let me know tomorrow if it fixes the problem
for you.
