Because this is not the proper way to design network drivers.  The software
we are talking about is the lowest level part.  All it should be responsible
for is sending the data from one calculator to another and possible some kind
of error checking.  That kind of chat software and "room mode" belongs in a
higher level section.

Of course this is a calculator network and bending rules would probably
speed things up, but just wanted to point this out :)
