	We have a MicroVax II running BSD4.3 UNIX. I am trying to 
	develope a new protocol parallel to IP, for use in the 
	local ethernet environment. ( to be specific, i would like
	to write programs that can receive an ethernet packet carrying
	an experimental 'type' field, so that I can set up communication
	between this machine and any other machine connected to the same
	ethernet) I have looked everywhere for the info. about how to 
	send/transmit ethernet packets. Obviously, this can't be done 
	using sockets, as they don't allow access below IP level. Man
	pages provide nothing on this matter. I would be very much thankful
	if someone can provide me with some more info. on this matter, or
	atleast a pointer to pursue.
