[jdev] Communicate between two client instances of the same ID

Hello Peter,

I see. I would want my IM messages to be guaranteed delivered :)

Requests will be a few KBytes, replies a few KBytes to a few hundred
KBytes typically. For larger replies, I suppose I can chunk them up

This sounds like a lot of effort - I need to build my own client
and server and protocol. And I suppose public servers (google talk
for example) won't have this support?
