Hello, since this is my first post here I would like to say HI! So now that that is over please excuse my stupidity on some topics, I am still a beginner on a lot of them.

>From what I have read so far on attempts to extend the DGD driver's networking functionality the approach is always to edit the DGD code to include this functionality. It may be the fastest route to accomplish the same end result however I fail to see the need to take this route.  Has anyone ever attempted to use the existing DGD functionality to build a communication layer above the DGD driver that is capable of communication between multiple DGD processes'? Essentially creating a non-verbose (high-level) communications language. To top it off the communication would be Object Oriented would it not?(if done properly), Does that mean that our created communication layer is also independent from the underlying layers (in the idea that as long as the 'communication' that is received is the same that was sent, it's irrelevant how it got from one point to the other).

And that will finish off my rambling. I'm interested to see what other opinions are on the topic. Anyway I see the DGD driver and the kernel lib as a very nice piece of work my kudo's go to the creators.
