Roger, are you saying that you would use a UNIX socket instead of an
INET socket to enable compatibility with more/other platforms?
That doesn't sound right - shouldn't it be the other way, i.e. use an
INET socket to get more compability? After all, who would try to port
a network application on to a platform with no TCP stack ...
