ah... at one time netcat wasn't part of a RHL or early FC distros and one had to get it (best of my knowledge, surely if someone knows I'll be proven wrong) :) and then they began building it in, but as nc, not netcat, but the 2 commands were linked. I found their implementation (for some reason) did not function like the full netcat I had downloaded and installed on my own prior to them including it as nc. What that ended up doing was wreaking havoc to my one and only FOSS project: http://www.turnpike420.net/linux/iTHX-M/ ... and well, since then, it was graciously ported to PHP (you can see the old versions). Ah well, I know I'm not being much help, just chatting... :)
