I would first try sending the text file as a binary over the net again, and
see if the translation is bi-directional. If that fails, you can write a
simple program to convert back to binary. I would have to double check to
be sure, but if memory serves me, CR and LF are converted to two digit
hexes in ascii, while remaining four digit hexes in binary.
