I can do all the job using sockets, I just wanted to do it in a clean way
because RPC provides: high level interface, transport independent interface
and authentication.
Gisle Vanem ported the client stuff to WATTCP. It uses packetdrivers and
I'll run the client in Win9x boxes so I don't think I'll be able to use it.

BTW: libsocket seems to define some RPC structure in the headers, why? I
think it makes collisions with some RPC header.
