Well we have overcome our unknown problem with udp-casting to a file. Just for a reminder, we were having troubles with Image files getting bigger than 2 Gig using the '-f' option. The problem was not our file system, we tried several different, nor did our Kernal not support LFS. The workaround started with trying to split the file into 2 Gig portions then 'cat' them back together into one big file, but then we couldn't send the file, we got an error message saying the file was to big. So we came up with the following workaround:

To receive to a file from a regular udp-sender piped through lzop or gzip: udp-receiver > filename.lz

To send the image file we use: udp-sender --autostart 1 -p "cat filename.lz"

The autostart option is important because with our system for some reason we can not start it manually and we cannot pipe it using '<' because it freezes the program, but by auto starting it gets around that for us. We really love udp-cast, we have compared it to several other programs some under the GPL and some not, and this is the best and fastest for what we need. My complements to you Alain.
