Chat Server

/*

 Chat Server

 A simple server that distributes any incoming messages to all

 connected clients.  To use, telnet to your device's IP address and type.

 You can see the client's input in the serial monitor as well.

 Using an Arduino Wiznet Ethernet shield.

 Circuit:

 * Ethernet shield attached to pins 10, 11, 12, 13
