[Mono-list] IPC Scenario between a service and a web page

[Amc Gmail]

We are using simple .NET Remoting with tcp channel and that works
nicely under both MS.NET and Mono. Only the initialization is slightly
different, but it's one line of code under #ifdef.
In other projects we have sockets or WebRequest/WebResponse exchange,
which you may also consider if your service is not a .NET-based but
rather plain c/c++ I did not personally test those on Mono but pretty
sure it's OK.
