ucspi-tcp

ucspi-tcp is a public domain Unix TCP command-line tool for building TCP client-server applications. It consists of super-server tcpserver and tcpclient application.

From "Life with qmail", Dave Sill, 2 January 2006 (Appendix B.3.): ucspi-tcp is an acronym for UNIX Client-Server Program Interface for TCP, and it's pronounced ooks-pie tee see pee.

tcpserver features built-in TCP Wrapper-like access control.

ucspi-tcp competes with several other programs

• inetd, TCP server
• xinetd, a replacement for inetd
• mconnect client supplied as part of SunOS
• faucet and hose, part of the netpipes package
• netcat
