Rather than re-invent the wheel, I went looking at the ports and saw this: mpich-1.2.4_1. Is this all? (It seemed awfully complex for my tastes.) I have no *need* per se, but wanted to play around with sending data between one computer and another, with different programs / packets; sending any kind of data (not just text). (Sorry I can't be precise.) Can anyone suggest a package / port to study or adopt? Thank you in advance.
