Yes, you can open sockets with SOCK_DGRAM. The problem here is that the socket buffering system is not intended for this kind of socket. I didn't test it with UDP, so the status of using SOCK_DGRAM is unknown (at least until someone tests it and reports that it works reliably). -- Regards, Sascha Schumann Consultant
