Quickly checking my handy 'libc' info it says by 'sendto': The normal way of sending data on a datagram socket is by using the `sendto' function, declared in `sys/socket.h'. which fits with my memory. 'ping' send ICMP packages/datagrams and doesn't use TCP/IP which is what the listen (), accept () family of function are for. <snip> Greetings -- Mark Plowman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] What is the hound of Wong-san crapping?!!
