Duh.  I haven't used netcat before, but I have read about it, just never 
thought about it.  I just checked and the BBC cd that I have has v1.10 of 
netcat on it.  I'll have to try it.
Thanks for the tip.
In the future I would like to change the cd to include booting up and enabling 
networking with ssh, so that I could throw it into a headless machine and 
have it boot up able to be ssh'd into.  That way I wouldn't even have to 
connect a monitor to the machine for boot up (which is all I need the monitor 
for right now).  I would keep it with a dynamic address and then just have to 
look the address up from my dhcp server or guess (I'm at my folks house right 
now and I don't remember if the older linksys router he has gives decent 
logs).
