Hi there,
I've written a small translator "netio", which provides a filesystem
interface to sockets. The sockets are created by lookups of the form
{tcp,udp}/HOST/PORT. IO on the resulting IO port triggers IO on the
underlying socket.
With some bash redirection tricks you can have a simple netcat:
(cat 1>&3 2>/dev/null & cat 0<&3 ) 3<>net/tcp/www.gnu.org/80
Let's you interactively talk to www.gnu.org:80, for example.
(Thanks Neal, for that cat-trick.)
netio can be fetched from
http://duesseldorf.ccc.de/~moritz/files/netio-0.1.tar.gz. Note, it's
an early version.. it's not yet very complete.
