Let me first start by saying, I'm not even sure what I'm trying to do is possible, and I'm very new to Xamarin/Monotouch development, but here goes.
For some background, I'm looking for a Xamarin PCL version of a bi-directional Pusher library. I've found an implementation that receives, but doesn't send. I've used the Pusher.net library before in a Windows app, and it worked well, so I figured I'd try to port it. I'm able to import and compile the actual Pusher assembly as a PCL with with no problems. However when I try to build the Pusher.Connections.Net library (again, as a PCL), I get the following error:

To save some scrolling, the key error is:
WebSocketConnection.cs(24,14): error CS1684: Reference to type `System.Net.EndPoint' claims it is defined assembly `System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089', but it could not be found
If I open up the assembly browser in Xamarin, it appears the System.dll that's referenced does indeed have the Endpoint class defined.
One data point, which I'm not sure is relevant: the Pusher.Connections.Net library is dependent upon the WebSocket4Net assembly. If I attempt to add that assembly via the package manager, I get the following error:
Could not install package 'WebSocket4Net 0.8'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'portable-net45+win+wp80+MonoTouch10+MonoAndroid10+xamarinmac20+xamarinios10', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
If however, I just go to the site, and download the assembly, and add a reference to it, it seems to satisfy all the WebSocket specific dependencies.
What am I missing? Thanks very much in advance.
