Mostly PowerPlant Networking seems to work just fine. I do note a
previous note to this list that said that under heavy load something does
get out of sync. I wasn't clear on the details and it hasn't affected us.
As you have noted, MoreNetworkSetup doesn't work on X.
The other pieces to keep in mind are low numbered ports (< 1024?) are
privileged and require a root process to open. Raw ethernet ports and raw
IP ports are also privileged. Working with OT and TCP/IP privileged ports
seems to work ok. Raw ethernet is completely unworkable from OT and must
be re-written using Unix sockets.
