Thanks for the feedback. Although some of you were a bit vociferous I think that all the responses I received were useful and well thought out. We did do an implementation of the concept (adding a serial number as a TCP option field) and it worked fine when talking to a 4.3 bsd system. I think that we are going to take a different tack. The UDP broadcast idea seems to be the most reasonable I have heard so far. I will let you know where we go. Again, thanks for the feedback. Brian Lloyd, President Sirius Systems, Inc.
