So am I - I just do not know how to find any.....

My problem is that this is far to cryptic.....

I could spend a lot of time searching the net, but maybe someone
can point me to something a little more novice oriented.
I do not have "the bible of Stevens".

Are there standard applications that I could start (under X11 perhaps)
and that would multicast on my local network - and other applications
that I could run on another computer to receive the data?
Could be a good starting point to learn how to use it.
Under Linux it might be available as source code
