Is the server actually sending a \n-terminated string? Otherwise readLine will 
wait forever.
Why don't you use the read-functions that read into QByteArray? Because 
actually the server isn't sending a QString (if its not implemented in Qt) but 
probably a zero-terminated stream of bytes. And its your fun to make something 
usable of it.
All (or at least most) of the Qt-functions to send Qt-types over QIODevice 
only work if both sides are Qt, I think.

Have fun,

Arnold
