	   "Broadcast".  This ACE object is clever enough to go out to the
	   OS and find all of the network interfaces.  When you send()
	   on a Dgram_Bcast, it will send the datagram out on all of those
	   interfaces.  This is quiet handy if you do it on a multi-homed

	   Instead, we use the magic value "INADDR_BROADCAST".  All hosts
	   are obliged to respond to datagrams directed to this address
	   the same as they would to datagrams sent to their hostname.

	   Remember, the Dgram_Bcast will send a datagram to all interfaces
	   on the host.  That's true even if the address is for a specific
	   host (and the host address makes sense for the interface).
	   The real power is in using an INADDR_BROADCAST addressed datagram
	   against all interfaces.
