Could someone please sketch a solution to the following problem?  

Let's say I want two people to play a board game on two different
hosts/workstations.  They need to see and update identical copies of the
same window.  Changes made by any user on his/her window should show up
on the other's window. How can this be accomplished? Can a client access
two servers at the same time (or dynamically change the server)? 
Does someone have example code which does this sort of thing?

Any hints on how to approach this problem would be appreciated.

TIA,
--Laurian

PS.  Is there a comp.source.news group?  If not, maybe it is time to have 
one so people who (in my opinion) make very useful contribution with their
code do not feel guilty about posting large files in this group.
