tno.Send goes to the channel or target player.

tno.BroadcastToLAN goes via UDP to everyone who's listening to the specified port, whether they are connected or not. Think server discovery.

OK so :
- tno.SendBroadcast for server discovery.
- tno.Send(Target.Broadcast) for RFC call when not on same channel
- tno.Send(Target.X) otherwise

Right?

Yup. Target.Broadcast is for things like server-wide chat.
