Description :
npemwin can connect to any number of NWS byte blaster servers or to a directly attached emwin serial (WX12/13) device. It will serve the data to any number of byte blaster clients, including other instances of npemwin itself, and it can relay the data by ldm and nntp.

It can be configured to register itself with the NWS master host to be advertised as a ``public'' server and appear in the list of available servers. It has no hard-coded limits to the number of clients it can serve. The number can be limited in the run-time configuration file if desired. Clients can be dennied or allow access through the tcpwrappers /etc/hosts.allow file. When used in this way npemwin tries to imitate ``bug for bug'' the behaviour of a regular BB server, as seen by either the BB clients, the BB servers or the master host.
