Cort,

I would venture to guess from the error you are getting that the lnpd code on
the BrickOS website never was quite working under cygwin.  I also gather this
from Stephan Höhrmann response on a different and recent thread on lnpd
(http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/rcx/legos/?n=3984).

It does look like Stephan has does work on an alternative he calls lnphost.  You
might check out his work, http://lnphost.sourceforge.net/, and see if what you
are looking for in terms of functionality.  Otherwise you might have alot of
debuging just to get the code to be "cygwin friendly".
