Now that's a hack... :-)
It's nice to know Perl presents Larry with problems as well.
ObHack:
Ping my C64 from the Internet. Yes, I wrote enough of the SLIP/IP/ICMP
code on the 64 to send an echo reply. It can do TCP/UDP, but I haven't
written them ... yet.
And I did it because someone told me it couldn't be done. I hate that
phrase...
It won't ever be a gateway, and its not blazingly fast, but it is holding
its own.
