[Mono-list] System.Runtime.Remoting

Of curse!. Do you have documentation about remoting?. I haven't been able to
find
much information. I read Ingo Rammer's book, but it doesn't cover all
Remoting classes.
There is also another Remoting book by MS Press "Microsoft .NET Remoting",
but I don't
know if it is worth to buy.
