I have wondered this myself.  In the past few months, I have sent two
requests to "vmtp-ip-request@gregorio.stanford.edu" to be put on the
list, and I have heard nothing.  I'm not sure if the traffic is zero,
or that my request to be put on the list was somehow misplaced.  But I
would have thought there to be more interest in something like VMTP.

For your own ventures, you might also start with anonymous FTP to
gregorio.stanford.edu under the vmtp-ip directory.  I have grabbed the
vmtp.README, vmtp.LICENSE, and vmtpspec.psf files so far.  Read the
license agreement, it is not a trivial one.  This is why I hesitated
in using VMTP in the first place, and why I wanted to learn more about
VMTP before pursuing it any further.  The file vmtpspec.psf is a Post-
Script version of the RFC describing VMTP--it is big, and full of info.

Good luck!
