Excellent! Thank you very much, David, I'll try the next snapshot.


BTW, why is manycast only designed to use multicast group addresses, and
not also broadcast addresses? I see the code and the doc both requiring
type m "multicast address (IPv4 class D)" for those commands, but don't
understand why broadcast IP is impossible. Something like:

| manycastclient 192.168.7.255 key 4 iburst
| manycastserver 192.168.7.255

prints to syslog:

| attempt to configure invalid address 192.168.7.255


Cordialement, Serge.
