   You can twist it anyway you want. ;)   
      
   But in the end it basically still is exchanging messages between two different   
   networks, and that is called gating.   
      
   The ("wildly") different properties of the networks and clients involded don't   
   matter for this... IMHO.   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
