OK, given they're both unices, that figures...  I'd then read and
write in smaller chunks.  I don't do enough deep networking to know
what packet sizes are sensible, but... 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------- IO#write
     ios.write(string)    => integer
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Writes the given string to _ios_. The stream must be opened for
     writing. If the argument is not a string, it will be converted to a
     string using +to_s+. Returns the number of bytes written.
        [...]

...probably a good idea to check the return value.  And for f.read.
