Either the Environment manager or the Netmsgserver can be used
to pass ports between two unrelated tasks. The Environment Manager will
allow different environments to be created and shared between various
tasks, but in its default mode, there is only one environment per machine.
One could pass an environment port to a task on another
machine allowing a name-space that spanned different machines. 

The Netmsgserver name-space can be global to all machines that are reached
by a broadcast message. (Normally broadcasts don't go across gateways).
Or you can limit look-up requests to the local or someother specific host.
