Phil, Factor already has the ability to communicate with another server remotely using TCP/IP. Why not use this to initiate communication with a native VM thread and negotiate to use a fd descriptor as the communication method afterwards hence bypassing TCP/IP. This way you can come up with a high level comms protocol to communicate between any two Factor VM's whether locally or remote, the only changes being the underlying method.
