RE: [misterhouse-users] Socket Between Two MHs

[Steve S. <st...@bi...>]

Hello,
   I've often thought of adding UDP support to MH, but don't have any ideas on 
how to support it. I believe it to be useful, if we could send a UDP broadcast 
onto the network, and have MH receive it and react to the command as if it 
came in from the powerline. Of course, on UDP we wouldn't be limited to the 
X10 command set.
   I can see how to create a TCP socket below. How do I create a UDP socket? 
Do I need different sockets if I want to send vs. if I want to receive?

Thank you!

Steve
