	[Thuau, Joachim]  If someone want to do such a thing, it would be
interesting to see what 'ACE' could do for us.. (check this out : The
ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE)
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html)
	From what i undertood, it is a programming platform that could be
used for multiple environment (Linux, NT, Win95, Solaris, etc...  see web
page..)
