AdvancedChat Server

/*

 Advanced Chat Server

 A more advanced server that distributes any incoming messages

 to all connected clients but the client the message comes from.

 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
