You need a fully functional RT tulip driver on every machine you wish to
communicate with.

These are examples on how to write your own code to use the RT tulip
driver. If each host is to transmit and receive then you will need to
write code similar to what appears in these examples. If you want to
send and receive files then the functions RTN_snd_file and RTN_rcv_file
in rtt_tx_rvc can be used in your app.
All the functions you need are in rtt_tx_rvc.c. Remember to #include
<rtt_lib.h>. If you just want to send and receive buffers, then just
remove the file stuff. Use the 'ioctl' function to change the address
and send/receive an acknowledgment message to make sure that you have
the right address before sending/receiving data.
And that's it.

This is just an example of how to use the RT tulip driver. You don't
need to put this in your makefile.

A single ethernet address is normally used to send and receive. The
daddr[6] is the address of the other machine you are currently
communicating with.

You don't need it.
A lot of things in these examples are 'hard coded' like the daddr[6].
Just use the functions in the file rtt_rcv_tx.
