Short: Links stdio to socket (AmiTCP/IP and AS225r2) Author: Sam Yee (samy@sfu.ca | samy@res.com | fido: 1:153/765) Uploader: samy sfu ca Type: comm/tcp Architecture: m68k-amigaos socklink basically links the standard input/output (stdio) to a TCP/IP socket connected to a host. It reads data from a socket, writes it to standard output. Conversely, it reads from standard input and writes to the socket. It handles data asynchronously and in both directions simultaneously. No data translation is performed. This "pipe" enables BBS users, who lack Internet access, to use serial device based network clients (such IRC clients) through an Internet-connected Amiga BBS. socklink runs on most modern BBSes capable of standard Command Line Interface (CLI) doors. It supports AmiTCP, AS225r2, and MLINK.
