We're getting them, but unless people know the answer they're unlikely to
reply.  In this, I do, and so I have!

You should be able to use the lwIP sockets interface in the same way that
you would any other BSD-style sockets API.  The exact code depends on
whether or not you are using a STREAM (TCP) or a DATAGRAM (UDP) socket.
If you question is how to use the sockets API to do this, then I'd suggest
reading a book or tutorial, as that will provide you with much more (and
more accurate) help and information than I can.

On the other hand, if you've implemented something that works on other
socket APIs and it doesn't work with lwIP's socket library, then please
let us know so we can fix it.

Hope that helps,
