Hmm, its actually a little more complicated that that - what Claudio is
outlining is local access v's remote access for NT SuperServer....
As NT does sipport its own IPC mechanism for local access....
However Classic as an architecture does support local access quite elegantly
on Unix, whilst SuperServer doesn't (at all).
