My netcat is the one from the official FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE s the system here now to check the exact version; I'll check it and post it to the maillist a.s.a.p. (or look in web-cvs).
As of telnet, it runs o.k., but I wanted to use netcat in a shell script... :( Besides, that is what netcat is designed for, is it not?
PS. sorry, as of 5.4-RELEASE I meant 5.4-RC2
Try pkg_info -I netcat\*
Regardless of whether it is up-to-date or not you should try remaking it. If it's not up-to-date then you should update it first. The handbook will tell you how. Try nc reading from stdin
nc -i 1 localhost 110
and type the commands just like to telnet. Does that work?
If it still doesn't work then there may be a bug in the port on 5.4 and you might try reporting it.
Also, there seems to be a gnetcat port which is a rewrite of netcat. Try that.
