Thank you very much for your prompt and helpful response Ross.

Yes, I understand the risks and implications and will do everything within my
power to push us through an upgrade. Unfortunately I'm only a lowly developer,
and so some decisions are not in my control.

Sure, I'll do that. Thank you.

You're right, I didn't explain well. We do in fact have a two client
implementations as well as the server implementation. So ultimately I will have
to deal with this challenge... twice. Ahh well, such is life! :)

Thank you for the excellent explanation. I understand.

In our particular environment we always have a one-to-one relationship between
sessions and connections. Therefore I will take your advice: implement the
necessary sub-classes, and acquire the client IP address from either the SETUP
or PLAY commands.
