By the way, I'm still learning a lot about all this too. For all intents
and purposes this is the first major application I've written on Linux.
Also a couple months ago I knew absolutely nothing about the subject. Which
for me includes socketcan, J1939, NEMA 2000 / NEMA 2000 fast packet.

Anyway, my point is: If I can do this, I'm sure you can too.
