That's what I would call it.  I'll expand on what I said above.  You have 
to have a way to communicate between your server and these other processes.
The most likely method is probably using sockets (though there are definitely
other ways your might do this).

Once you have your processes able to talk to each other, you need to know
how to talk back and forth, which implies some sort of protocol.  I believe
that this is what Jonas did (at least for vanilla EDS, not EuSQL, as I
suspect you'll probably want to do).

I recall looking at EDS.net back when it came out, but that's been a 
while.  I'm not sure how easy it would be to drop in a different 
networking library, or if wxEuphoria would even work for what you're
doing.
