Paul.
you are taking it upon ourself to decide that it is un-needed?
Native (Extended) TCL networking is nothing like
what tclDP provides....
tclDP's tcl-level RPCs are an absolute godsend in prototyping 
distributed systems, and I've been using it extensively
in on such application

If I wanted to use the usual networking stuff,
I'd have written it in C.

I'm not actually using it RIGHT NOW,
but I've been toying with using it in the near future again.
I will admit that I haven't used the new (none extended TCL)
networking yet, but it doesn't offer the same services
offered by tclDP

I don't know the addresses of the maintainers though I can look it up 
I guess, so I hopethe new version is out before I need it..
