On my OpenBSD box:
---------------------------------------------
[ger@openbsd: ~]% which nc ; echo ¨;  man nc | head -18
/usr/bin/nc

NC(1)                      OpenBSD Reference Manual                      NC(1)

NAME
     nc - arbitrary TCP and UDP connections and listens

SYNOPSIS
     nc [-lnrtuvz] [-e command] [-g intermediates] [-G hopcount] [-i interval]
        [-o filename] [-p source port] [-s ip address] [-w timeout] [hostname]
        [port[s...]]

DESCRIPTION
     The nc (or netcat) utility is used for just about anything under the sun
     involving TCP or UDP.  It can open TCP connections, send UDP packets,
     listen on arbitrary TCP and UDP ports, do port scanning, and source rout-
     ing.  Unlike telnet(1), nc scripts nicely, and separates error messages
     onto standard error instead of sending them to standard output, as tel-
     net(1) does with some.
---------------------------------------------

It seems to be called netcat in Debian.
