First link from googling netcat: http://netcat.sourceforge.net/ Online man page for netcat (a.k.a. nc) http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=nc (Note, it's the openbsd man page. YMMV) If you can compile C on your university computer then you should be able to download, compile, and "install" it to a dir in your homedir. I've done it, so I know it's possible. :-) (I was working on a remote machine that I didn't have root on, and I needed to test a tcp server I was writing.) Netcat's a truly awesome and surprisingly useful little tool. Any effort you spend to learn it will be well repaid. Peace, ~Simon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
