Since I was getting a bit lost with this thread, I looked thru the ISP
mailing list archives.  The original question was from Leif Nelan on
Jan 25.  It was answered with a perl script and various shell scripts.
The thread was revived on Feb 5 by Troy Settle asking how to redirect
port 110 traffic.  The revived thread is the one we have been discussing.

Works on my FreeBSD 2.2.6 sh.

I don't have a clue.  You'll have to ask Renaud Waldura <rwaldura@LIGOS.COM>,
the one who posted that sh script.

I've been doing the same with the revived thread answers (plugdaemon, nc, ...).
More tools for the toolbox.
