Maybe the problem is in doing broadcast messages in general on Windows (this same code works fine on OSX...Linux is another issue altogether). It doesn't work consistently (I do not always get the callback to my 'with' message, the average is 6 out of 10).
Using a 'sniffer', I am ALWAYS getting my response from the devices. It seems like it is just that the messages are not always finding their way back to my callback handler (in Windows XP). Is this a problem, or is there a better way?

To make my task even more difficult, I was trying to do a UDP broadcast, and accept a variable number of responses (unspecified number of devices). What became confusing was 'when' to parse the data parameter and when to use the 'with function' call. It was even further complicated by when the devices responded (when the socket is opened, or when the 'poll' is sent). It turned out to be a combination of several things...loads of fun.
