if you pick a random protocol type that's not tcp or udp and
the chances your little packets will make it across the intertubes
will be lowered quite a bit. this isn't the ip designer's fault.
although for giggles i just set this up:
minooka; aux/listen1 -tv /net.alt/il!*!4000 /386/bin/cat
listen started
incoming call for /net.alt/il!*!4000 from 74.166.29.253 in /net.alt/il/1
and surprise, surprise, i can call out through a bridge and a
telco router and touch it
; telnet il!minooka.coraid.com!4000
connected to il!minooka.coraid.com!4000 on /net/il/3
hello, world
hello, world<cr>
i'll leave that up for a while. have fun. i'll be interested what
the success rate will be.
