I took a look, but the packets appeared to be arriving quickly and in the 
correct order. Thanks for the idea, though! I will keep studying the problem.

This is a very useful suggestion, I hadn't considered that possibility. 
I may suggest this as possibly wireless will never be reliable enough
for our requirements... Thanks!
