Duncan,
	I am moving to omniorb-dev on this issue.

	I completely agree with you on this. I should look towards a new
transport. Now the new transport will be based on tcp again. so can I use
the exiting tcp transport and enhance it with compression features? Well I
tried doing this and I have named this as "ctcp" [-compressed tcp-]
transport. The URL looks like this - "giop:ctcp:host:port". This transport
does nothing special than normal tcp transport, I have to add the meaning of
"c" to this transport yet. I am able to build a separate library called
omniCTcpTP. The entry of this transport in the object reference {IOR} is
maintained with a special TAG called TAG_OMNIORB_COMPRESSED_TCP.
	Now at this point I need know from you- Am I on the right track?
Thankx
Nishant
