This thought just occured to me: why not generalize the message relaying that Talkative does a little bit, into general proxy objects. These could be used (in combination with the object factory) to get around firewalls, or for any case where you want to redirect the data flow (maybe to concentrate bandwidth on the server rather than in clients). Any message sent to the proxy would simply be resent (unchanged?) to the target or multiple targets of the proxy.
Does this make sense? Reed _______________________________________________ vos-d mailing list vos-d@interreality.org http://www.interreality.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vos-d
