A simple test to check the basic named pipe features that xmtn needs 
(not full standards compliance) would be this: Open a terminal window 
and type

     mkfifo a
     cat a

Open another terminal window and type

     cat >a

and then type a few lines of text.  Each line should appear in the first 
terminal window as you enter it.  When you hit ctrl+d on an empty line, 
both cat processes should terminate.

At least, that's how it works on my machine; small variations of this 
may still be sufficient for xmtn.

Christian.
