Well, that's my current method, I found it only takes about 2 seconds to netcat /etc/hosts across. Is there a more elegant way or is the only method of ending a netcat session to wait for the lights to stop blinking then press ctrl-C? It's an acceptable method for most of my applications but it seems a little dirty, kinda like crash landing an airplane. -Brian
