Netcat is a general purpose program that transfers data across a TCP/IP connection. It comes in both Windows and Linux versions, so you could run a Windows copy in a .BAT file under control of the WINE application, using it to ship commands and/or data to a Linux shell via a Linux copy of netcat. You could choose to run both ends of the connection on the same host or at either side of a network. The Linux version is called 'netcat' or 'nc'. Martin
