    Thanks G4KLX!

    Excellent!!! Does anybody know where I can find an example of a script
    that is doing just this read from stdin and write to stdout.

    Sounds like a great way to prototype a server quickly. Neat way to
    implement a quick service outside of the regular ones to get emergency
    services via a simple scripted telnet client as well!
