Sorry for the delay in responding with how I got on, not well unfortunatley.

I don't know if it was curl or the hardware causing the problem but
the symptom was only the first part of the message being recieved so
either the hardware wasn't making the correct request for the next
part or curl wasn't sending the next part when requested. With the
deadline looming as close as it was I had to look for alternative
methods and ended up going down the perl LWP route which dumped the
whole text file into one huge message (in case it was the hardware's
problem). Maybe Curl could have this option?

Thanks again for your help, hope this responce helps future readers

Dave
