Back in the few years ago, Greg Harris, Robs, Mario (i hope i haven;t let 
anyone out, or included the wrong people!) and i did a tcp internet connection 
with mirc-eu. Outside the irc and mirc code, Eu did the connection between 
us. Greg actually coded the Eu side to *stop* more than one connection, but 
for a beowulfish cluster on a lan, remove the security code, run it behind a 
firewall, and it would click along as fast as your LAN would allow, and 
doesn't matter what OS the boxes on the LAN are, and long as they know 
how to talk to each other. In tests, it ran as fast as our internet connection 
on the internet, and ran sustained send and recieve about 1.2megbyte(?) 
localhost. After we got it working, everyone drifted apart, and no one was 
interested in sharing via RPC anymore. I dunno why. What is executeable 
was naturally restricted by whatever we wanted.
