var net = require("net"),
IRCProtocol = require("./index");
var server = net.createServer(function(local) {
var local_parser = new IRCProtocol.Parser(),
remote_parser = new IRCProtocol.Parser(),
local_serialiser = new IRCProtocol.Serialiser(),
remote_serialiser = new IRCProtocol.Serialiser();
var remote = net.createConnection(6667, "127.0.0.1");
local.pipe(local_parser).pipe(local_serialiser).pipe(remote);
remote.pipe(remote_parser).pipe(remote_serialiser).pipe(local);
local_serialiser.on("data", function(data) { process.stdout.write(">> " + data); });
remote_serialiser.on("data", function(data) { process.stdout.write("<< " + data); });
});
server.listen(6668);
