Just like J.M. Alliot (cf his last mail), i've been using the marshall/unmarshall builtin facilities of Caml for sending/receiving polymorphic messages as raw blocks of bytes. This interface has not been used intensively, but preliminary results are encouraging. For more information, you can have a look at a paper i recently submitted to EuroPar97 (http://brahms.fmi.uni-passau.de/cl/europar97).
