might do what you want. It'll display incoming messages and send ACKs, and
you can send messages from the command prompt with automatic retries. It
only queues one outgoing message at a time though, due to lack of buffer
space.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

the acks, and just use perl to grab data off port2023</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
