Good luck! I would think that PERL should handle it, but remember you
are in a "bastardized" environment, where you are running a networkable
(slow) windows workstation - which would like to use netbui, but can be
forced to think TCPIP - that is being handicapped by running an
overgrown terminal emulator/pcanywhere/NT-Term-client.

What should be a local client is NOT !?
