The client would make a container containing the pages and give the server access to the container. Then the server would map the pages in the container, build a packet and send it down the network. Upon return, the client could reject the server's access to the container or fill it with another pay load and continue. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
