I'm using netcat to listen for Avaya phone system call logs.
Thanks for the advice. I'll check that out and see if it could be
something that I might use.

Netcat has strange issues about wanting stdin -- it won't run

I have had problems with netcat before. As I recall (vague memory
now) it does not handle EOF conditions desirably. I switched my
application to using the connect program (typically used with ssh)
instead. It handles end conditions much better.

If that meets your needs then you may find it works better.
