About Eqbcs.
Eqbcs is a server that can be run as a console app on windows, or on unix (tested with linux) which is how I run it.
It currently only takes one command line parameter, which is the port you want to bind to (default is 2112, which I dedicate to the Canadian trio Rush).
Example:
Yourprompt:> eqbcs
- Listens on port 2112
Yourprompt:> eqbcs 4224
- Listens on port 4224
Yourprompt:> eqbcs ftp
- Does not work, it does not look up service names to map to port, and the text won't work.
Note that on unix systems, access to ports under 1024 is generally restricted to the root.
