"netcat" can be compiled in busybox. I've got it compiled into the version
of busybox I run...........

scandium# nc
BusyBox v1.00-rc3 (2006.02.20-14:02+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: nc [OPTIONS] [IP] [port]

Netcat opens a pipe to IP:port

Options:
        -l              listen mode, for inbound connects
        -p PORT         local port number
        -i SECS         delay interval for lines sent
        -e PROG         program to exec after connect (dangerous!)

While you could cobble something together using nc (I have in all sorts of
one off situations) I'm sure some of the other programs people have
mentioned would be a better bet. I especially like the look of socat - I'd
not come across that before. Very neat.
