Subject: [M100] TCP socket support for LaddieAlpha.EXE


> I've put a new version of LaddieAlpha.EXE up at bitchin100.com for testing

> 
> This version can listen on a TCP socket.
> 
> For example:
> .\LaddieAlpha.EXE tcp://192.168.1.103:8085 6
> 
> means, instead of a COM port, listen on IP address 192.168.1.103, port 8085.
> 
> There are two special "IPs" allowed:
> 
> tcp://-:8085 means listen on localhost port 8085. That can be useful
> for testing or if you're adding some other socat, or ssh filter in
> front.

> [For those who might be wondering... why not just use socat and not
> add this feature... answer: because it wasn't working! Apparently
> mono's SerialPort object cannot use a pty because it crashes trying to
> set flow control ioctls.. which don't exist on a pty]
> 
> tcp://*:8085 means listen on all IP addresses of the host.
