I grabbed the latest version from SVN but same results although when I went
to make it I got this:

gcc  -g -Wall -O -DDEBUG -c cidbcast.c -o cidbcast.o
cidbcast.c: In function âmainâ:
cidbcast.c:699: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of
âipaddr_to_intâ differ in signedness
cidbcast.c:729: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of
âipaddr_to_intâ differ in signedness
gcc -o cidbcast cidbcast.o -lm

I did look at the source and when ipaddr_to_int is declared at line 100 it
is setup as unsigned:

int ipaddr_to_int(const char *stringIP, unsigned int *ip)


I don't know c though so I'm not sure what that means, it does still compile
but I still get the 3 Send AT with no init.  I assume its not really
actively maintained anymore or that it normally just works.  Minicom works
for me as well, weird.  Thanks for the help again!
