Hi Mark and Michael,

I'm not sure yet whether my attempt to fix this problem works or not.  
But, I am less confident after reading your response below, Mark.  Mark, 
you said:

>  packet.  

I didn't know ace had to respond to a state change packet.  All ace does 
is listen for these packets and then act accordingly.  Ace never responds 
to ecs after ace receives a state change packet.  Am I missing something?
