+Be aware that in some distributives (Fedora Core 5 at least)
+usage of nc has been changed and -l and -p options are considered
+as mutually exclusive. If nc complains about options provided,
+you can remove the -p option from the script. For example:
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+#! /bin/bash
+
+[ $# = 1 ] || { echo "Usage: $0 target_ip" >&2 ; exit 1 ; }
+TARGET_IP=$1
+
+stty -icanon -echo intr ^T
+nc -u -l 6666 < /dev/null &
+nc -u ${TARGET_IP} 6666
+stty icanon echo intr ^C
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
 The script expects exactly one argument, which is interpreted as  the
 target IP address (or host name, assuming DNS is working). The script
 can be interrupted by pressing ^T (CTRL-T).
