I did this as a proof of concept a while ago, but never finished it. It 
works but I didn't prioritise empty acks so testing both ways with TCP 
will fall apart - but then it does on a full duplex connection. Remember 
it's a test and I can't even remember the detail so you will need to 
modify alot - INPUT/OUTPUT etc for real world.
