NSConnection is part of Distributed Objects. It's possible to run DO
between two machines across a TCP connection, but it takes a bit more
work and you have to initialize the connection differently. I believe
Apple has sample code showing how to do it.
I'm not a fan of using DO for this. IMHO, there are a number of subtle
issues with it that aren't immediately apparent but will bite you if
you try to develop a real app using it; the nastiest being the
potential security problems. I wrote a blog post about this a few
months ago:

See my previous cocoa-dev post from a few minutes ago, for a blatant
ad for my own open-source framework that implements easy distributed
messaging in a way that is somewhat lower level but I think a lot more
robust. :)
