Port a VB6 Application over to VB.net

We have a small VB6 program that we would like to convert to VB.net so that it can be compiled to run as a service. You will need working knowledge of TCP/IP socket communications as well. The *existing* VB6 application does all of the following: 1.) Listens on a user specified IP address (usually 127..0.01) and port#. 2.) Accepts connection requests and receives an XML string from point of sale software (POS) 3.) Does some checks on the data it received using simple string functions. 4.) Opens an SSL connection to our web server and transmits the XML sting to us. 5.) Waits for the response and then sends the response back to the POS software. You will make the following changes: 1.) Port the application to VB.net 2.) Make any modifications needed to allow the program to run as a service in Windows. 3.) Replace the old socket controls (WinSock and SocketWrench) to use VB.net socket controls. 4.) Create an simple install program that will install the program to run as a service. 5.) Provide us with complete source code. (After field testing and debugging is complete) The biggest challenge with this project will be testing. You will have to mimic the POS program with a utility or program of your own making. There are lots of sample programs out there that will open a socket connection and let you paste in the text string that you want to send to the host so you can test that way. We will provide sample strings. You will be able to send test transactions to our development web server to make sure you are successfully transmitting and receiving transactions. We will field test the program with live customers and we will report any bugs back to you. Please explain your testing and debugging (QA) policy as well. Please also explain what your policy is on bug fixes and
