Hi, I have a question regarding broadcasting messages over Appletalk.
The situation is as follows.  I have several copies of an application
running on a single network.  One of these copies wants to send the
same message to all the others.  How do I do this?

I've seen that setting the node ID in my outgoing message to $FF sends
the message to each node.  However, how does it get to my particular
socket?  If such a broadcasted message goes to all sockets, how do I
distinguish it from broadcast messages sent from anyone else?  Help!
