Indeed. One of my longer standing 'plans for the future' would include just that. The IRC server I have in mind would work as a plain IRC server for clients but would use a completely different sort of server <--> server protocol. Ideas I've been playing with are redundant links between servers, checksums on channels / users for less expensive netjoins (avoiding having to resend thousands of users / channels after a split) etc. Anyways, that is getting a bit too much off topic for this list :) If interested, we can talk further about it on another list or in email :) Kind regards, Remco -- ICQ: 760542, Tel: (+31) 6 11316573, http://www.webconquest.com -*- Zippy's revelation of the moment: -*- Boy, am I glad it's only 1971... _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
