I had thought that running a simple script to telnet over would do the trick, but at least one MUA doesn't seem to like it much (works great by telnet). Anyways, I looked at the man page for ipfw(8), and tried to figure out that divert thing, but it makes no sense in the context of the man page. Can anyone shed some light on this? Or, if anyone has a perl or C proggy that just opens a transparent socket to another host, I'd appreciate it. -- Troy Settle Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
