[Mono-list] Bi-directional remoting

[Brian Ritchie]

Here's a alpha/beta release of a bidirectional tcp channel...
http://www.dotnetremoting.cc/DisplayPage.aspx?key=OSR_BiDirTcpChannel

"This channel aims to solve several problems related to events, callbacks 
and client-side sponsors when Remoting is used with clients behind NATs or 
Firewalls."

He also has Jabber & SMTP channels...hmmm interesting.

Hope this helps,
Brian
