Hi all,

I have an application that allows users to check on the status of different servers over Wi-Fi or the carrier's network. In order to work over 3G/EDGE, it creates NSStream objects for both receiving and sending. This works fine for TCP connections and does what I want.

However, I'd like to be able to add UDP support to this application, and haven't been able to get the traditional BSD socket functions to communicate over the carrier's network. Is this even possible? Am I restricted to Wi-Fi when using anything other than NSStream, or am I missing something?

Thanks!
