Just a quick note about this IPC discussion.  Has anyone read about
the V kernel, being developed at Stanford by Cheriton et al?  Basically,
the project involves setting up a distributed system consisting of Sun
workstations (at least that's what they were using in the article I read --
there was some mention of including VAXES).  It would seem that we could
at least borrow the primitives from the V kernel.  Perhaps we might
want to borrow the server philosophy as well.  In any case, I think
that we could avoid alot of mistakes by reading about it.
