 normal unicast direct to the port.  That's why I left the
 commented-out line in there, to demonstrate the difference in

+You need to set SO_BROADCAST (aka SocketOptionName.Broadcast) to
+enable both sending _and_ reception of broadcast datagram packets on
+Linux.  Whether we should automatically enable SO_BROADCAST on all
+sockets needs careful consideration (we already set it if connect ()
+fails due to EACCESS.)
