[Pharo-users] Socket, network, testing and coding

Hi guys,

Quick question regarding sockets and testing.

I'm trying to implement a simple communication protocol to exchange data 
(strings) between 2 images and I was wondering what was the easiest way to 
test/develop my code?  I want to be able to do something similar to a chat 
client between 2 images where none of those 2 images acts as a server.  So data 
can originate from any of those 2 images and both images have to "listen" to 
each other.  Besides, both images would have to transmit/receive on the same 
port.

1) Is this possible (the way I want to do/test it)?
2) How do I simulate something like this on a *single* machine running those 2 
images?
3) Do I need to have one of those 2 images act as a "server" ?
4) Any helpful tip and/or interesting link to propose?
5) Can you think of any simple code or example I could look at to understand 
what I need to do?  -----------------
