RE: is IPC really faster than TCPIP?

Hey Paul I really like that idea. Thanks Larry

        We had a client insist on getting a copy of a UNIX server we had. He laid it down at his office and then issued a stop listener command which went out on the network and shutdown the listener on his production box.

        He was pretty upset until I looked at the listener log and told him where the command came from.

        Isn't that the way some pop-up stoppers work too?

Larry,

one could use TCP on the loopback address (127.0.0.1) and not hit the network.
I usually include that as the first line in an address descriptor on a server.

just being a stickler.
