The JIPC system from the University of Calgary is an inter-sun
ipc system with remote creation etc.  one of the features of
jipc is its transparent support of non-homogenous networks
(ie data type conversion if required).  It is simple to
get distributed programs running under jipc, and a network
traffic monitor/debugger is available.

A number of sites use jipc on small to large networks of
suns and vaxen, including several universities and
the Naval Research Lab in DC.  Contact the University of Calgary
dept of comp sci.
