NAME
       send - send message using MSP

SYNOPSIS
       send [options] adr user [message]

DESCRIPTION
       send  takes  the given message and sends it to user on the
       machine given by adr using the message send  protocol  MSP
       as  described in RFC 1312.  If the message argument on the
       command line is missing, send reads it from it's  standard
       input.

       Due  to  protocol limitations the whole message packet can
       not be larger than 4096 bytes.  Since there is  additional
       information  in  the  packet  the  maximum message size is
       below 4096.

OPTIONS
       send supports the following options:

       -b     sends a broadcast message to the given adr.

       -l username
              sets a different sender name.

       -t tty sets a different sender tty.

       The -l and -t options can only be used by the root user.
