  27.    I am running two independant processes on two (SGI IRIS) machines
  28.    that need to communicate.
  29.  
  30.    Since the two machines share a common NFS mounted file
  31.    system, FIFOs (named pipes) may be used for the communication.
  32.    I also have the option of using sockets.
  33.  
  34. I don't think named pipes can be used for this. They can only be used
  35. on the local machine. Sorry to spoil the fun.
  36.  
  37.    Any comments, suggestions, feedback ?
  38.  
  39.    Thanks in advance.
