Nice little trick, but what use case does fwd cover than can't be done with Netcat? E.g. http://www.devkb.org/linux/115-TCP-tunnel-port-forwarding-using-Netcat

  nc is a terrific tool with tons features when compared with fwd, the main difference would be the the ability of accepting multiple connections and the simplicity of use. As netcat is already multi platform/arch that wouldn't be a decisive factor.
