Sorry if this is misplaced on this group, but I have an urgent question on
"raw socket" programming.
This is to read and send packets with non-IP type codes in the IEEE header.
I need this to port a distributed application using its own packet type code
to Sparc's while maintaining interoperability with the PC-MSDOS version. Due to
memory space restrictions (oh this silly MSDOS... 640k...) on the PC side, I
would prefer to avoid IP on the Sparc against using TCP/IP on the PC.
On SG/Irix, jou can just call socket(AF_RAW,SOCK_RAW,...). On my pizzabox, I
could not find AF_RAW in the headers, and the Network Programming Guide does
admit the existance of SOCK_RAW but does not explain its use.

Any hints welcome. Thanx,
