More like Java RMI. I want the server to start a new thread and run the 
request (that sort of semantics).

Communicate between eCos and host (running on a linux box) both ways. I 
will need to write both client & server logic.
I am hoping to do this in the scheduler/task layer rather than above it 
(hopefully this will make it more lightweight)

Any pointers as to what examples/sources I should look at to get better 
grip on the implementation.

thanks
