Hi.  I thought I saw something called RDP fly by about a year ago but I
can't find it on seismo (if it's there, let me know please).  It was (I
think) a layer on top of udp that added reliability to the protocol.
Can someone tell me if they have it?

Also - the reason that this is important is that someone here is working on
a new (yet another) programming language to support distributed applications.
They want to have about 40-50 open connections at a time, but getdtablesize
says not to count on more than 20 entries per process.  Our version of BSD
(Wisc 4.3+NFS) has this size bumped to 64.  Is this the accepted default out 
there or is 20 really it?

Thanks...
