Neither have I, but a friend thinks it might be useful for virtual world work, and he could be correct. Hence my desire to experiment with it. Currently Second Life and OpenSim use a combination of TCP and UDP, so a protocol that's basically a cross between them might work wonders. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
