I have run into difficulties in implementing a distributed algorthm
using rpc(socket) in a sunstation network. My problems are:
1. How could I set up SERVERS among suns. Is it enough to set up one
server among serveral related machines? How? (My algorithm needs to
send packets to serveral suns.)
2. In a RPC manual, there is an example which said a server is needed to be 
able to run properly. But I tried to run it without server, it did
works too. Is a server necessary for all socket(lower) level applications?
3. Could I get some real application source code from you?
Any comments any pointers are greatly appreciated!!
