Thanks for that,  it works great.  A beep shows two datagrams per one sent
(if that makes sense),  the first is the garbage one coming from the accept
command.  I decided to make it into an OS X fix, so when running under OS 9
it works normally:

on mouseUp
 accept datagram connections on port 3052 with message "gotGram"
end mouseUp

on gotGram fromwhom,what
  beep
  if what is not empty then
   -- do whatever I want with the data
   if the platform && the systemversion contains "MacOS 10" then
      close socket 3052
      accept datagram connections on port 3052 with message "gotGram"
    end if
 end if
end gotGram
