I just wanted to let you know that I have ported the bridge code to Windows. 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
