        You should use on the available socket libraries for the Mac. The 
one I know about is Novell's, and comes as a lib to "link" with using 
Think C. I suppose it's the best thing to use, since it's really 
unix-like, and works quite well if you don't want to receive UDP packets 
of more than 918 bytes (I think the edge is at 918 bytes, I don't 
remember), and maybe even that bug has been corrected now.
