 Wierd question here.

 I have my pilot link software setup on my machine in DCU. Does stuff like
uses sitescooper to store the days news in kpilot's
~/.kde/share/apps/kpilot/pending_install/ directory. I sync my pilot quite
often. I was wondering, would it be possible if I could sync it offsite,
easily. I've seen a program, called "netcat". I was wondering could I:

 Make a /dev/pilot fifo pipe file on my machine that runs the pilot-sync
software, and the desktop of the day (offsite). Use netcat, somehow, do
take anything written to /dev/pilot on one machine, and send it over the
network, to look like it was written to /dev/pilot on the other machine....

 Does anyone understand this ?
