Agreed, but what's the trick to permitting broadcasts?   The network interface parameters seem to have this enabled:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:16:76:A7:BC:5E  
          inet addr:128.3.128.30  Bcast:128.3.131.255  Mask:255.255.252.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::216:76ff:fea7:bc5e/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
