OK, I'll change that.

Was this already added?

I'll change this too. And maybe turn <note> into <warning>.

Quote (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc867.html):
"UDP Based Daytime Service
Another daytime service service is defined as a datagram based
application on UDP.  A server listens for UDP datagrams on UDP port
13.  When a datagram is received, an answering datagram is sent
containing the current date and time as a ASCII character string (the
data in the received datagram is ignored)."

Uhm, I think 1 byte is enough?


Thanks for your comments!

Nuno
