I decided to give that a shot, however, as I expected, that gave no 
output either.
---OUTPUT---
Last login: Tue Aug 12 10:50:24 2003 from xxxx.yyyy.com
Parameters:
$
---END OUTPUT---

Somehow, nothing is getting passed.  Like I said before, it could be the 
distribution.  If anyone has any free time, download it and see what I'm 
talking about.
It's such a wonderful quick solution, It would be nice to get this so it 
can act as a "substitute" for a normal ftp server (and even better for 
some cases only using a single port).

Adieu,
Johnny
