Ah... So this talks about netcat for Windows NT (clear indicated by
nc.exe), but not for UNIX. I'd rather believe the man page and the
output of nc -h than some random google'd website.
There is no -L option. Neither in /usr/bin/nc nor in /opt/local/bin/nc
nor in nc on the Linux boxes I have access.
Since such an parameter isn't mentioned anywhere, it doesn't seem to
exist in netcat for UNIX. I can't tell if it exists in a Windows version.
Sorry, I don't think we can help you there...
