Hi Bo! :-)

This is called uint16_t by the C standard's . ;) That's the
most useful definition for such a type since it is guaranteed to work no
matter what the word size of the underlying machine is.

 BS> I should be little endian, fidonet packages should be send in little

htonl will swap the bytes on a little endian machine, and not swap them on
a big endian machine. Network byte order is big endian.

It looks like you will need to code your own routines that behave the other
way round.
