socklink basically links the standard input/output (stdio) to a TCP/IP
socket connected to a host.  It reads data from a socket, writes it to
standard  output.  Conversely, it reads from standard input and writes
to  the socket.  It handles data asynchronously and in both directions
simultaneously.   No  data  translation  is  performed.   This  "pipe"
enables  BBS  users,  who  lack  Internet access, to use serial device
based network clients (such IRC clients) through an Internet-connected
Amiga BBS.

socklink  runs  on  most modern BBSes capable of standard Command Line
Interface (CLI) doors.  It supports AmiTCP, AS225r2, and MLINK.
