19. Packet Generation

I would offer to help test this if/when it is added.

Currently, I use security programs and keep an Ethereal window up to verify
that the packets are sent correctly.  I also do this with SendIP and Nemesis
- it's cool to see the capture window updated dynamically.

Shomiti surveyor and SmartBits have intelligent packet generation, i.e.
checksum calculation, but I hate both of these programs/hardware.  It would
be nice to have an alternative.
