No, but from what the description says, it uses Windows sockets.
Granted, under W2K you have raw sockets (hence SYN scan only under
W2K), but it appears, NULL, X-mas and FIN scan would be tricky to
generate. Just for these, to see how systems are reacting to various
types of scans, I still prefer nmap.

Frank
