I had another thought about this. My case of wanting to launch a connection (ssh session) when an e-mail is sent could be handled if TB! would try connecting to the SMTP server more than once. Here's how it would work: 1. I have a program listening on localhost:25 (local SMTP) 2. A connection to that port causes the launch of the external program with that connection passed to it as stdin. Hmmm. As I wrote this, I realized this is the standard inetd program in Unix. No need for TB! to try multiple times. I'll have to see if Cygwin already has an inetd and give this a try! Otherwise, I can write a port specific version pretty easily. Ahhhh! The joy of communication and the Internet!!! This list reminds me of the old Usenet days!
