Exactly, this is the point. We're already using our own RPC stuff for outgoing
communication and were using URP as a string tunnel for the incoming calls
only because we didn't manage to get a server going from within BASIC. Thus
the transport is asymmetric right now, which is not so nice from aesthetical
point of view, but worked well so far. Now the URP stuff broke for some python
embedded in a proprietary application, so its time to put things straight.

Stephan, thank you very much for your reply.
Now i think it's clear for us, which way to go  :^)

Kind regards
