asyn driver question: raw socket support

[Burkhard Kolb <b.kolb@gsi.de>]

Hi,
we have bought some Lambda Gen 8-180/LAN power supplies, which look from 
the documentation "practically" the same as the power supplies from Agilent.
Nevertheless they use as low level protocol their private raw socket 
interface, which involves fiddling with the packet headers, etc.

How difficult would it be to implement this as an alternative to TCP and 
UDP in a port driver, given a programming example provided by Lambda?
The example code has basically a connect a send and a receive routine.

Any suggestions?
Burkhard
