('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) No you don't have to disable your pygmy sever as it's running on port 80. And yes this will work over a modem, ethernet card, or even a "slipped or plipped" cable.....any device that talks TCP/IP
and you will have to define a matching port number for both ends of your "nc" connection
port 5555 sounds good as it's a non priviliged port (<1024)
Try typing at your command prompt
nc -h
It'll give you an error message and some VERY terse info on usage.
Better yet go grab your own netcat along with a few sample scripts and some other docs(included in "nc110.tgz") at
http://packetstorm.securify.com
You'll have to use their search feature to easily find it though
