A patch from Bart Visscher <magick@linux-fan.com> to add an
xconnect helper routine which does: -address and port resolving -tries to connect to all resolved addresses until connected -uses getaddrinfo, so works for IPv6 too This patch also ports rdate, telnet, and wget to use the new xconnect function. Thanks Bart!
