Using raw socket is quite portable, you'll probably need something like filtering with pcap, and then using the raw socket to send your stuff. Be aware that there might be a "huge" delay between libpcap and the actual packet processing, ~1sec. _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
