I'd also like to find out more about mach messaging, especially network
messaging and broadcasting.  Can anyone post some reference?
Or can someone tell me who should I contact to obtain a copy of the
Mach reference manuals.

BTW, does mach by itself supports broadcasting if the network allows it?

Thankyou,
