For a third, unasked, option... if you're not using any of the more
extravagant features, you practically always have busybox on hand
already...
$ busybox nc
BusyBox v1.19.3 (2012-02-21 22:48:14 EST) multi-call binary.
Usage: nc [OPTIONS] HOST PORT - connect
nc [OPTIONS] -l -p PORT [HOST] [PORT] - listen
-e PROG Run PROG after connect (must be last)
-l Listen mode, for inbound connects
-p PORT Local port
-s ADDR Local address
-w SEC Timeout for connects and final net reads
-i SEC Delay interval for lines sent
-n Don't do DNS resolution
-u UDP mode
-v Verbose
-o FILE Hex dump traffic
-z Zero-I/O mode (scanning)
