A quick google of carrier pigeon over TCP/IP revealed this: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1149.txt This one states they print the datagram in hex. If you get a packet sniffer you can probably look at what you'd be printing. :-) I think ethereal is still available for free [but dont' quote me on that!] :-) Might be some other free packet sniffers around. O'Reilly's TCP/IP book is a good one to know what you're looking at [Has a crab on the front]. Darn ... you can tell I used to be a network engineer! lol Shoalin Tiger might know more about it than me seems as I'm trying to forget my life in IT ... but can't escape it. lol Well, it depends on how it gets written out, as binary, hex or some other method.

I didn't know you can have hardcopies of TCP/IP packets. Any info on how those things actually look like? Kay, Morse is not really "old school". It's still a widely used communications technology and one that is most communicable. In a sense it's very much similar to the binary data of today's computing technology. David,

Kay,

Morse is not really “old school”. It’s still a widely used communications technology and one that is most communicable.

In a sense it’s very much similar to the binary data of today’s computing technology.

I've heard of the morse code stuff being used before too, so doesn't surprise me.
