[Serusers] Getting access to the FIFO server from a remote host?

Hi As far as i understand, the fifo server interface is a kind of file or stream bound to the localhost. This means, it has no built-in capabilities to be accessable from remote hosts, i.e. over a tcp socket, right? I need to access the FIFO server from a remote host. I see 2 possibilities to do this: either by writing some php scripts that are called from remote side on a localhost webserver or by writing a wrapper that wraps the fifo port and provides a tcp socket. Any other ideas? The tcp socket is my favourite so far, because i expect it to be more reliable and faster. Maybe anyone in the list already faced the same situation and has already created a wrapper? Regards Frank
