Although it seems a little passe these days, HTTP is a peer to peer protocol: anyone can be a server, and anyone can be a client: they are peers. And I distribute all my works via http, many of which are distributed from my home via ADSL. The projects I have worked on in the last few months include squid, tla & related, cscvs, gnu-smalltalk... going back to everything would be a long list :) Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
