The point, which I have made repeatedly in this thread, is that if he has *anything* that allows him to copy a file onto the box (ftp, serial connection, sneaker net, smoke signals, whatever), then he can have netcat on the box. And once he has netcat, he's got it made. -- (This discussion group is about C, ...) Wrong.
