I haven't got much experience with CORBA (not other than distributed
"Hello World!" test program using Sun Microsystem's NEO ORB in Java).
 
As far as I know, if you want to use CORBA to comunicate two processes,
you need an something called ORB (Object Requeter Broker) in both client
and server side. There are several companies that sell diferent ORB's like
Visigenic (now Netscape), Tibco and Orbix. 
 
There are also GNU ORB's (a colleague of my company is experimenting with
an GNU ORB written in Java, I don't remmember it's name), but in my
opinion using CORBA instead of a technology already existaint in the
Operating System (like RPC, sockets or interprocess comunication queues)
would make MUSCLE project very dependant on other projects, still under
development.
