	We are using PVM on a group of more than 50 workstations,
almost all of which are on an Ethernet local area network.  A real
broadcast would really work here since the Ethernet is like a bus.
Has anyone written or seen such a thing.  By a real broadcast, I
mean a message which is sent on the Ethernet which has the appropriate
bits set so that all listeners get it rather than just the one
to which it is addressed.  Thanks for any help.
