Waaall, a couple of things: first, AF_INET SOCK_RAW will get you a raw
connection.  But you don't need (or want) a protocol field.  Instead,
you get to read and write headers yourself.  Lessee, to get to the IMP
(or whatever), you want to bind() in AF_INET to the interface address,
I think.

I'm sure y'all 'r gonna jump on me if I missed anything, so I'll
jest mosey on outta here now ...
