Gee, it's too bad EtherTalk doesn't use an ethernet multicast address, rather
than using the (global) broadcast address.  This way, only those who feel they
are interested would have to listen for this stuff.

By the way, how did this "big-lan@suvm.bitnet" address escape on to the
internet?  This is a little unfriendly.
