The netcat utility likes to exit when it receives an empty packet (as it
thinks this means EOF). This can easily occur when working with command
line editing as this behavior will be triggered when using backspace. Or
with tabs and command line completion. Since the local ncb util does not
have this "feature" and it supports broadcast udp, default to using that
rather than netcat.
