if you want named pipe, see IPC$ commands in smbclient.

if you want dce/rpc pipe, that's easy to deduce / engineer and you want
rpcclient.  the published named pipe api will actually assist you in doing
this.

send a text-print-out of a netmon trace to the list as an example, i'll
take a look and let you know if it makes sense.
