Hi,
You don't appear to have received a reply, which is curious. Anyway,
if you haven't figured it out yet: after receiving the RegionHandshake
packet, you have to send a RegionHandshakeReply back, and only then
will the region start sending object updates. This is to give the
viewer a chance to load cached object information first. You may also
have to send an AgentUpdate message as well; I can't remember
off-hand. (In theory, this is all documented somewhere.)
