What is X.PC?  What are the common uses of X.PC?  Is it suitable for 
program-to-program/peer-to-peer communication tasks?  Where can I find 
specifications or descriptions of the protocol?  Are commercial implementations
available or is it generally homebrewed?

On a larger scale, I am interested in finding a suitable protocol for 
Wide Area inter-process communicating.  I welcome any recommendations or
pointers to recognized protocols for handling such a task.
