Is there any reason you can't copy a piece of software to the box? Does it not have any way of getting files onto it? Is this one of those "policy" things - policy doesn't allow you to put anything on it? Or is it a merely technical issue? It seems hard to believe that you can't, somehow, get, say, netcat, onto the machine. netcat is all you need! -- Just for a change of pace, this sig is *not* an obscure reference to comp.lang.c...
