If the amount of traffic is low - and the complexity of the messages is
minimal, I'd go with TCP/IP sockets - its a lot cheaper and with a
minimal complexity level of the protocol, it would still be fairly easy.
If, however, it uses more than just "here's a message, have a nice day",
ie it needs confirmation, lookups, movement of blocks of data etc, CORBA
might be a good option, tho maybe a little overkill. Send either Kerry
or I email (nwise or [EMAIL PROTECTED]) with some details on the
project, and we'll see what we can come up with what resembles advice :)
