Sorry, I forgot about using sed :-(

I think most generic servers get just this kind of pounding; many
universities do not provide IP routing for students, but they do provide
unix systems to play with, so things like slirp are common. Similarly
getting a unix account is often cheaper than getting a SLIP/PPP account.
Slirp isn't old thing, so this isn't yet happening world-wide. I think it
found its way into the ports just a couple of weeks ago?

In a system where 40 people are learning to program in C in unix
environment, you can be pretty sure to find that someone doing fchown on a
tty is quite normal, just like "main() { char b; read("filename", b, 100);
}" :-)
