I can't help with the code (no .Net experience to share yet <g>) but I can
tell you that you can never base your app on the hopes of getting full
packets (serial or TCP/IP) so you always have to buffer the data.

fwiw, if full packets is all you ever want to deal with.... and are sure
that you can control blocking, etc, in a meaningful way, you can use
SocketWrench... their new version supports fixed sized transfers where both
sides wait until the entire packet is transferred. It's a bit tricky because
of the blocking and handshaking but it's possible. This functionality may be
in their freeware version as well so.....
