Building Automation Control Network (BACnet) is the standard interface for devices in the Industrial Automation Sector (i.e. REALLY big fans for REALLY big buildings, among other things). Our application is trying to talk via BACnet/IP, which is why I need to pragma pack.

I'm using FB2.1-super on Ubuntu 8.04

Thanks!!
Kurt.

1 - What is BACNet? (I don't recall hearing of this is over 20 years of
PC or 14 years of IB/FB experience)

2 - What version of Firebird are you running?
