                     12: .I -a
                     13: option. The broadcast is done via the Packet Exchange Protocol as specified

                     18: The network addresses of all servers responding to the broadcast are written

                     29: .TP
                     30: .BI -a
                     31: Causes the broadcast to request Authentication servers rather than
