Just so you know, I worked w/ another user a while back (> 1 yr ago) in doing this very thing via xAP as a request/respond transport for Voice Command items--treating them as a "client" half and a "server" half. This was one of the more obscure uses of the respond method that David was talking about (for other purposes) a while back. Anyway, the implementation is not via the traditional notion of mh proxy and server, but rather two (or, can be "n" if you like) mh instances. I don't recall the exact details, but could probably assist if/when you decide. Gregg |
