Hello.  I'm writing an applicaton that will be similar to ICQ in that it =
will support P2P instant messages and
fullduplex split-screen chats. =20

Problem: a month ago, I managed to get two machines talking to one =
another simultaneously (fullduplex chat),
but now I can't seem to figure out how I did it.  argh!  I 'get' the =
basics of sockets and am familiar with the tutorials
in most of the python books, but I can't find out how to do this simple =
thing.  Help!  :-)

Also, any suggestions about what to use and what to avoid as far as =
setting up a network server with Python=20
would be *GREATLY* appreciated.

thanks!
stephen
