Yes. CORBA supports remote IPC and lots of different archs/languages. KDE uses CORBA for IPC. Another solution, might be Web Services (don't mean anything about .NET and stuff I ever touch). Specifically, you can use SOAP and XML for remote commnunication between application built in different architectures. I'm sure there is a free implementation of SOAP, but I can't come with a link right now. 'Web Services' is a fancy term, I dislike. I hope noone misunderstands the above paragraph. :-) Last but not least is sockets. Both Solaris and Linux support BSD sockets (or a variant closed to the original implementation). Windows have an implementation of sockets, too, but I am fine knowing nothing about it. :-) I'm afraid that in the latter case you'll have to duplicate a lot of code.
