RE: Piping across machines? - a suggestion
Thank you all for the tips with ssh nc! I simply wondered whether some old 486-machines might be put to some cluster use... This obviously answers it! :) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
