The problem with Storable is that the representation is architecture-specific. It isn't suitable for implementing a "commodity" protocol which can be used for communication between different architectures.
Just endianness issues, or are there deeper differences?
If it's just endianness, it should be relatively easy to get that sorted out, either via wrappers around the networking functions, or by extending Storable itself (well, it's probably a bit too early for me to try this, but there's a good chance that it will be at least one of generally useful and instructive *g*).
