I have been checking out this discussion periodically and I decided it
was time to say something.  There is currently a distributed system
project hosted at Rome Air Development Center (Griffiss AFB) which is
being performed by the folks at BBN (Bolt Beranek and Newman) called CRONUS.

I am currently researching this system for inclusion into a project
that I am working on there.  The nice things about this distributed
system is that the routines are all incorporated into the system
libraries and tag on to the system calls (read, write, open,close
etc.) directly.  The nice thing about that is that a person can port
an application to the distributed environment rather easily.

The system uses TCP/IP as a platform for communications.  It has currently
been tested over ARPA-net, Satelite link and directly over broadband
ethernet.

The current integrations (that I know of) are on UNIX (4.[23]BSD),
VMS, Symbolics (don't know the status on this).

Anyone from BBN/CRONUS care to comment?
