Joachim Breitner's Homepage

It is always nice to get feedback from people using your work. It happens that a long time ago (February 2002) I wrote a tiny little program called "udp-broadcast-relay" that does nothing but hauling udp broadcast packages from one local network to another one. I wrote it because I needed it then, and did not care for it after somewhen in summer 2002, when I did not need it any more.

Yesterday, I got this message:
