Hi,

I need to send packets out on the network every 'x' ms, where 'x' ranges
from 5ms to 100ms.

I loop around a select call, which works fine for 'x' more than 50 ms.

The minimum gap between packets I can get is 20ms, and I want to do better
than the select call.

Is there any other way of performing a task periodically.
The task I perform is very small.. I have a small (4 byte) udp message to
send.
