Socat is like "nmap on steroids": a way of connecting streams together -- be it network sockets, stdin, whatever. Quite useful when deebugging things (as nmap is) -- but also for "production". > I suppose I could set > up a server on the home network.

But there's a way to find out. > Maybe I'm paranoid, but I really don't like the way Comcast (and > many other ISPs) seem to think that they own their customers.
