Ann,
thanks. I somehow see a brighter future. ;-)

I'll check out with Carlos when I have the need then. Perhaps I could
help him finish it.

Good.

It's not appropriate for high-latency networks either. I have read on
the lists that the protocol would have been revised for FB2 but I
don't see it happening in FB2 nor in FB3, as there hasn't been any
concrete proposal with enough agreement AFAICT.

Ciao
