This is a good thing. It can make Freenet look like some other protocol. However, I don't think that netstat would be really portable. If you executed if from Java, it would require that the machine is a UNIX or Windoze box, and you can't integrate it into Freenet itself (there is probably no way to do this in Java). -- Travis Bemann Sendmail is still screwed up on my box.
