Well as you can see I don't.
However, I have not had any problems *receiving* data from the remote
server (this is where the SerWrite would be used to send it into my
Win7 program).
What I see is losing data when sending to the server, i.e. not all
bytes on the wire from the Win7 program are actually received by my
relaying code:

    SetLength(Buf, BufLen);
    LenRd := SerRead(FComH, Buf[0], BufLen);

Here data are arriving but some are lost, so the total number of bytes
relayed are too few.
THey are not lost on the TCP/IP outgoing side because I am counting
and showing the number of received bytes and this counter does not
ever go above 1000000, it stops somewhere at 970000 or so.
