From what I've gathered identd passes a user id along with the operating
system being used.....I personally see no point in using this.....but it
was a chance to play with netcat yet again*grin*
BTW I just acquired a pair of linksys etherfast cards and a 10/100
hub...think I'm going to start working with the multiple ethercard
question.
I'll scrounge up the tulip driver somewhere unless you've got it hidden
on one of your muLinux disks???
