Some Question about Socket TCPclient

[Rohan]

Hi everyone
I have couple of question regarding my coding I am going a Server
using TcpClient!
1) Does anyone know why do I get Junk when the client connects
initially? I have to use ByPassStartupWord to bypass the initial junk
2) Is my method of watch Dog to Timer to check if the client has timed
out or disconnected is any good? Or is there any other method of doing
so?
3) Am I using the right method of disposing the Class using the sub
DisposeAndDisconect? It seem that when I use that the CPU goes really
high, not sure if the class has been disposed !
Thank you !

Hi Mike,
About the SMTP, its actually a POP3 server ! i will look in to the
Async
thank you
