Did this work for you?  It didn't work for me.  I got the same sort of 
"infinite loop" I got earlier--the "Open with" dialog comes up and asks me 
what application I want to open the file (pipe) with, I choose konqueror, and 
the dialog comes up again, ad infinitum.

I'll look for a netcat rpm for Mandriva2006, but any further hints would be 
very welcome.

Thanks again!
