Hehe. Yes, you're probably the right person for this task :)
So I'll happily pass this to you.

But I'd like to exchange some mails with you before Flow is fully integrated with Squeak. I've been using NetStreams a lot

lately... but not with *External*Resources. I have almost finished a 
TCP/IP stack in Squeak, and my sockets are polymorphic with 
ExternalResources (so I can use'em with NetStreams), but they are not 
*External*. As a matter of fact, I ended up calling them 
InternalTCPSocket and InternalUDPSocket to avoid name conflicts.

I've also come with a set of Exceptions that I think are more appropiate 
for TCP and UDP: ConnectionRefused, NetDown, HostDown, ConnectionReset, 
OutOfBandData, etc.

Another thing I don't like is using NetStreams with TCP sockets in the 
Listen state. Since a socket in Listen state can't bahave like a Stream, 
I think we should use completly different objects for that 
(ConnectionQueue, for instance, or just the TCPSocket alone).

BTW, please don't take me wrong. Everything I said was IMHO.
I love Flow! I use it every day!
