Hi Christian!

Thanks for the quick help and netcat tip. I was able to send from my script
and receive with netcat (for example: *nc -u -6 -l 8000*) without any
problems. (sending to port 8000 in my script)

I've tried doing the reverse situation, where I receive on the script side
and send using netcat, but I haven't been able to get this to work. I don't
have any errors, but I'm not receiving anything for some reason.

I'll work on some chicken scripts that talk to each other and see if I can
get this to work properly.

Thanks again for your help!
Scott
