I need to port a 9.x application to OSX, which uses an obscure Ethernet transport protocol, and a multicast Ethernet address.

kEnetName, etc, are still listed in the OT headers, so why don't they work?

The types of endpoints supported by Mac OS X's Open Transport compatibility library is spellt out in the Carbon spec.

<http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Carbon/CarbonSpecification/Open_Transport.html>

* TCP, UDP and Raw IP Endpoints
* TCP/IP Services Provider and TCP/IP Mapper Provider (i.e. DNR protocol)
* DDP endpoints
* AppleTalk Services Providers and AppleTalk Mappers (i.e. ZIP and NBP protocols)
* OT/PPP endpoints

Ethernet endpoints aren't supported, hence your problem opening one.

Anyone know where I go from here?

To send and receive raw Ethernet packets you have to use a variety of low-level BSD APIs. DTS has a sample for this, but I don't think it's up on the web site yet. If you write to <email@hidden> we can send a copy your way for free.
