[openbeos] Re: Network Update

Great !!


I suggest you give a shot to netcat for testing, it's a nice cat transposition 
to networking, which supports udp, listening (i.e. can create servers with 
shell :-))...
I got it to compile for BONE, I don't think you will have many problems to 
compile it :

Btw, what API do you use ? do you keep the straight R5 one or do you add things 
from BONE in the headers ?

François,
really willing to help...
(I'll cleanup my schedule, and code RSN I think :-))
(btw I'm first finishing my Newsletter article :-))
