As some of you may know, I'm working on j2mod 2.0 and I'm wondering if we should continue to support Modbus UDP.
My motiviation for dropping is that it's not a recognised standard, it bloats the library and I'm having some difficulty writing the unit tests because the underlying error handling is a bit broken.
So, my question is, should we drop support for it in v2.0?

Steve -

There are devices which actually use Modbus/UDP. I've not regularly followed control.com of late, but I've seen people looking for something which "speaks" Modbus/UDP.

Don't think you have to do all the work by yourself. I'm trying to stay out of your way, but I'm also trying to get all the C code to where it can go up on GitHub as well.

After a couple of hours getting the unit tests working, I've somewhat changed my view in that, now it's working, we might as well continue with it.
