Hmm, see, there was some conflicting information on that. Some man pages
send it was for reception and transmission, others just for
transmission. Thanks for the clearing that one up!

Hmm, odd, that's the last thing I tried, to no avail. Is it possible
that INADDR_BROADCAST only responds to certain broadcast addresses, i.e.
192.168.1.255 but NOT 255.255.255.255?

Have you seen a small example that you were able to get working?

Thanks for the help. TTYL
