Thus this port must be transportable across the network, possibly passing routers in the path. For a local game this is of course mostly irrelevant. .SH AVAILABILTY The latest version of this program can be found at http://nettoe.sourceforge.net .SH BUGS See the BUGS file in the netToe source package for a list of known bugs.
