Source: Freshmeat Daily News wapircgw allows a WAP-capable mobile phone to
easily connect to IRC networks. The only thing
needed is a Linux box with an Internet connection
to act as a gateway between the phone and IRC
networks. Users can join multiple channels and
talk to others privately just like when using a
real IRC client. It consists of 2 cooperative
pieces: wapircphp and wapircd. wapircd is the
daemon that handles connections to IRC networks
and requests from wapircphp. wapircphp generates
WML Web pages that can be viewed with a mobile
phone's WAP browser.

gnome-volume-manager, it runs from a console. It
uses D-BUS and HAL to listen for new devices, and
uses pmount for mounting.

listening on each port (version detection). It can
also identify remote host OS and device types via
TCP/IP fingerprinting. Nmap offers flexible target
and port specifications, decoy/stealth scanning
for firewall and IDS evasion, and highly optimized
timing algorithms for fast scanning.
