If anyone wants this, I have a unix client and server that does the
basics of the testing Paul's suggesting.  I used it to test
for spoofability from a bunch of my nodes, I don't claim it's
something you want to open up to cable users as-is. :)

The code has only been tested on FreeBSD.  YMMV.  BSD license.
No attempt at real accounting or security.  But maybe it'll get
someone off the ground. :)  If you have compilation problems,
try ripping out the ltconfig and using automake to install the
right version for your own computer (automake --add-missing).
