The point is that every single TCP/IP client that is in existance now or ever will be has a free server available: netcat. This renders other distinctions meaningless, I think. There's nothing to stop me from typing TCP/IP stuff to it. In fact, I do this with the SMTP protocol from both ends on a fairly regular basis. -- John Goerzen Linux, Unix consulting & programming [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Developer, Debian GNU/Linux (Free powerful OS upgrade) www.debian.org | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ The 11,950th digit of pi is 7.
