Re: Re: OOB Reply Delivery Protocol v3

development of a Gnutella client for mobile... or wish to develop one, i
just wanna make u guys know... that i'm also working on a similar project...

officially as its not going to be n full fledged implementation of gnutella
specification. Although if anyone would like to know more abt this... ur
