Here's a small program a friend made to monitor a port that enables 
Chat with anyone that can Telnet. (this is usefull when two people
are on different systems with no chat compability.


====== CUT HERE and Compile using 'cc' or something ============

/***********************************************************************
** cht.c -- quick and dirty internet chat program
**
*************************************************************************
** cht is a poorly written program that allows a person to telnet to the
** cht server,
** and send messages to the person running cht.
**
** The program waits for a TCP/IP connection to the specified port number
** (default is defined as PORTNUM), and when it gets a connection,
** it spawns 2 children. One child listens for data on the connection,
** and when it receives anything, it writes it to stdout, and the second
** child waits for input from stdin, and when it gets any, it writes it
** to the network.
**
** Currently, two commands (not case sensitive) are recognized (from the
**    network side only).
**   /bye closes the connection
**   /beep sends a beep to the terminal running cht, and prints "beep"
**
**
** As I said, this is a kludgey program, and can certainly be written more
** efficiently. Also, most of the network stuff was borrowed from
** another program, who's original purpose was to do remote tape
** tape copies from  a VMS system.
**
************************************************************************
** Also, feel free to modify, expand on, improve, or anything else you want
**    to do to this code.
**
** I take no responsibility for any use, or abuse of this software, and
**    I certainly do not guarantee it's usability -- if you don't
**    like it, don't use it.
