  Description     : a package to manipulate BSD TCP/IP stream sockets

 NETPIPES 4 by Robert Forsman <thoth@purplefrog.com>
 The netpipes package makes TCP/IP streams usable in  shell
 scripts.   It  can  also  simplify  client/server  code by
 allowing the programmer to skip all the  tedious  program-
 ming  bits related to sockets and concentrate on writing a
 filter/service.

This tool is also used in famous knoppix distribution and I think after
its "stable" since 1998 it should go into debian ;-).
