[HECnet] Windows Version of Bridge

I didn t, but suppose I should. I think that if I tidy up the code, then a simple diff will make the changes clear. Most of the work was to get PCAP and sockets to use the same mechanism to tell the code that there was some data to be processed.

It seems to work well for me. If anyone is interested in a copy, let me know. I think that it needs just a little bit more work to do the following: 1. Tidy up some bits that I almost certainly left behind while trying to get it to work. 2. Turn it into a Windows Service so that it starts automatically when Windows starts. Another feature which would be nice to add generally is something which periodically re-resolves the DNS names in the config file to IP addresses, so that people who use something like DynDNS because they don t have a fixed IP address, can use it more easily and not fall off the network for too long when their IP address changes. Presumably calling the SIGHUP handler (read_conf) every so often would do the trick. It would also be nice to make the code a bit more portable so that it will compile and run on more platforms without modification, a bit like SIMH. Regards Rob
