It seems to me that what you're really looking for is an add-on to -- IRC seems to be the best candidate -- a protocol that would allow a person joining the channel/network send their ID (eg. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) to the server. Interested parties can now retrieve it and start ftp/talk/whatever. Of course you'd ideally want an integrated client that spawns all those when needed, but that can come later. Difficult part is figuring out the protocol -- how IDs propagate, how to make it secure etc. -- Dimitri -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
