Wez, I haven't looked into the streams stuff much, but have had it in the back of my head a lot. Does the streams implementation support 'filters' on streams? With this, whatever gets written to a stream would go through a filter prior to going across the wire. Reason I ask is that this would be a perfect fit for protocols like DIME. Shane
