I'm attempting to communicate via ethernet by the low level read/write commands
under XINU7.  I have successfully communicated to other machines by
using the broadcast address (EBCAST) which is defined in ether.h.  But
the machines cannot communicate when I use direct address.  Below is
sample code to illustrate how I'm attempting to initialize the
destination address in a packet.  Any help will be appreciated.

#define LSI4	"\012\000\065\005\036\042"

blkcopy(packet->ep_hdr.e_dest, LSI4, EPADLEN);

packet is defined as struct epacket and is given a buffer from a defined
memory buffer pool.
