6. make sure a firewall isn't blocking the ports you select (on either
side, but esp the listening comp; make sure you get the tcp/udp choice
correct).

PS: good trick Adam.  I had tried something similar to see if it would
work (with "&") but was trying with ssh (not nc) and it just wouldn't do
it correctly.

PPS: This trick should go into the pv info.  Better yet, pv needs a
feature to "connect" to arbitrary running pv to combine output :-)
Wouldn't be hard to do as it does IPC already.
