Woohoo, it does indeed work.
I tested the TCP sockets features by relaying a print-server web page:
socat TCP-LISTEN:8080,reuseaddr,fork TCP:jetdirect.example.com:80
I want to see if I can use socat to relay HTTP over plain serial modem
links (i.e. getty not ppp) as a remote support aid.
Many thanks John,
Ian.
