 Name

    throw - test the IPX datagram protocol

 Syntax

    throw -r hostname [-s socket] [-t timeout] [-v]

 Description

    throw reads the standard input, and sends the data that it reads using
    the IPX datagram protocol to the specified protocol address, then waits
    for a response.  Upon receiving a response, throw writes summary statis-
    tics to the standard output.

    The options are interpreted as follows:

    -s socket      IPX socket number to send the data to.  If socket is not
                   specified, a default of 0x400 is used.

    -v             executes in verbose mode

    -r hostname   specifies the host to throw to, that is, the host on which
                   catch is running

    -t timeout     retries sending if response not received after timeout
                   seconds.  This must be a positive value if specified.  If
                   timeout is not specified, a default of 5 seconds is used.

    You must have administrative privileges to run throw.
