Hi,

Thanks Stéf for the advertisement.

We (Michaël Piel and my self) are currently about to make a first 
release of UbiquiTalk with a nice GUI for PDAs.
Our goal is to get a stable/near-complete UbiquiTalk release for the 
next ESUG conference (Sept. at Prague).

BTW, we made a new version of Yoshiki's SqueakVM for PDAs where we 
fixed sockets.
Michaël, would you like upload it on the UbiquiTalk web.

Note that UbiquiTalk relies on IGMP which make it useable for variity 
of contexts : adhoc networks, LANs and also the Internet.
