I did find that man page, eventually, and thought it very useful.  The one thing
that is nowhere I could find is a description of which arguments
to give to sendto, and what they mean.  Example code would be
great too.  When I get my stuff working, I'll be happy to put
the sample code up on my web page, and let you know in case you
want to include it into your man page...

I'm not sure how others feel about it, but giving the 'man packet'
hint in the kernel's deprecated message might be useful too.  Could
also find a way to tell the user why the sendto args are incorrect?

Thanks for your reply..I'll try what you mentioned in the
other post..although I believe I tried that last night..we'll
see.

Ben
