Any idea when /dev/tcp came in? Or what kernel options might be required to make it work?

I'm running 2.6.32 (Ubuntu Lucid), Bash 4.1.5 and the tcp & udp dev files are not present :(

ubuntu's not a real operating system, just a non-functional failed prototype, so that is expected.

There are no /dev files; The trickery is a feature built into BASH.
