Subject: Sending packets over TCP server

I'm making a TCP server in Ruby, and I still haven't figured out how I
can send packets the way it should be sent. I know how to receive
packets and such though...

For example, one of the packets I need to send looks like this:

Packet ID: 0x00
Purpose: Server Identification: Response to a joining player. The user
type indicates whether a player is an operator (0x64) or not (0x00.)
Current protocol version is 0x07.

Fields:
Packet ID    Byte
Protocol Version  Byte
Server name    String
Server MOTD    String
User Type    Byte



The code I'm using for the server looks like this:

inform "Starting server"
server = TCPServer.new('127.0.0.1', config['port'])

--------------------
while true #Runs all the time, or until user chooses to quit.
  Thread.start(server.accept) do |client|
        data = client.recv(1024)
    data = data.split(" ")
    inform "Recieved Player identification from #{data[0]}"
    client.write "#{config['name']} #{config['motd']}"
    sleep 60
  end
end
--------------------

While it outputs "<Thu Jul 15 18:16:18 +0200 2010> Recieved Player
identification from "(name)"

The client side says that it's been disconnected.

I believe it's because I'm sending data wrong. May someone correct me or
give me pointers?
