The following was suggested to me by someone on IRC this morning, and I think it's a pretty nifty idea. We write a little Perl script that keeps exactly ONE AND ONLY ONE TCP connection open to each of Mr. Spamford's machines.
Perl is a nice language to write such things in, but you won't get huge quantities of people implementing it, except perhaps Linux users. You need an executable that'll run on Win3.1 or Win95 (sigh);
Perl is available for Windoze 32bit (for free), including W95 and 3.11 and NT. see: http://reference.perl.com/query.cgi?windows Note also that cyberpromo is *inviting* us to make connections!
