Subject: [JDEV] Question about Transports
> I was wondering if the typical transport creates a new connection to the
target service for each user that needs to use the transport.
> For example, If 3 people are using the MSN transport, does the MSN
transport have 3 separate connections to the MSN server, one for each of the
users?

  Depends on the system.  In many cases, yes, that is exactly what it does.
Unfortionatly, it's really the only way to do it on many present systems.  A
system like IRC, on the other hand, could very well be implemented as an irc
server, and hence, the transport would be a server in it's own right..
