On-line TCP/IP based inter-processor comm, HELP

[Rao]

	I had asked for the same info a few days ago.
	I would like to thank all those who sent me suggestions.
	
	I would like to explain my task once again.

	What we have is two different applications on two different
	machines, which use similar databases. We have to make inquiries
	on the contents of the remote database, for certain commands of the
	local application.Thus some inquiry is packaged and transferred
	to a remote machine and a reply is expected (I hate to say this)
	in real-time, i.e. 10-15 secs max.

	Now, what we have currently is  a deamon on each machine, to 
	which the local application programs pass inquiries addressed
	implicitly for the remote machine. The deamons take care of 
	the inter-processor communications, and they employ the 
	communications services of a uucp based  software package.

	When a deamon receives inquiry from a remote machine (i.e.
	remote application), it invokes certain functions which 
	handle (make) database queries and obtains the response.
	The response is then packaged and shipped back to the 
	inquiring machine.

	What I would like to do is replace the uucp based communication
	package (which the deamons use for inter-processor on-line
	file transfers) by a TCP/IP based communication software.
	This TCP/IP based software can use the TLI interface, or
	sockets, or any other appropriate mechanism.

	I would like to again solicit info and suggestions from others
	on the net who have done something similar.


				thanks again,
