Darn! I thought we were re-inventing the old xylogics terminal server
application suite -- in milking machine mode, serving a bunch of dumb
rs232 terminals on the A side, and pumping over enet on the B side to

I was expecting you guys to play the SCTP raga (beeponsteroids), with a
semi-respectable run into the numbers-space. Bubbles comes as a surprise.
Its so ... lightweight.  I so lack clue.

Nice to see you.

Eric

P.S. I think I actually don't know all of SOAP's shortcommings. I haven't
paid attention. Not my invited expertship brief at W3C. ENOCLUE.
