As has been posted, "discard" is the tcp equivalent of /dev/null. echo
repeats whatever you send to it. Daytime gives you the time in ascii
format. Time somehow returns the time in a binary format, i forget exactly
how it works. chargen outputs ascii characters, 72 per line, in order,
each line starting one character later in the sequence.
