Just what I'd expect broadcast to do! ;-)  However, broadcast packets are
really just packets sent to a special IP address, that the stack(s) and the
network treat in a special way.  So, since the z/VM support is "the network"
in this case, the question is does it handle both local-net broadcast (i.e.
address 192.168.0.255 on the 192.168.0.0/24 network) and "all-Fs" broadcast
(as used by DHCP clients)?

Exactly!  So I'm assuming that both types of broadcast are supported, and
that DHCP will work...
