Very simple, off the cuff even.

INSTALLATION and CONFIGURATION:

1) Download the netpipe source from the Livingston FTP site as an ASCII file.

ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/le/contirb/netpipe.c

2) Compile netpipe.c with your favorite compiler 'cc' or 'gcc'. I've
noticed that sometimes you have to delete the first line out of the source
to get the binary to run nicely.

3) Configure a port on the portmaster for reverse telnet.

set s1 device /dev/network
set s1 service_device telnet 6000 # whatever port number you choose

IMPLEMENTATION:

In our example we'll pretend the ip address of the Portmaster is 192.168.1.1

# cat any.old.file | netpipe 192.168.1.1 6000
