There is some mention of broadcast and multicast, but the description of how to turn it on has been removed (which is why I had to consult NTP Classic documentation). Since the code, as of now, has no way to turn on broadcast _server_,and we have documented removal or broadcast _client_ , can I assume this is final? If yes, I will go through the docs, tidying them up.
