%X The original implementation of JCSP Networking is based on
   the T9000 model of virtual channels across a communications
   mechanism, and can be considered sufficiently adequate for
   applications which are not resource constrained or liable to
   connection failure. However, work undertaken has revealed a
   number of limitations due to excessive resource usage, lack
   of sufficient error handling, reliance on Java
   serialization, and reliance on now deprecated features of
   JCSP. These problems reflect badly when considering JCSP
   Networking in a broader sense beyond the normal desktop.
   In this talk, a brief overview on how these problems have
   been overcome is presented. This will be followed by some
   tutorial examples on how to use JCSP Networking 2.0. This
   should be familiar to current JCSP Networking users, but new
   additions to the library should make it easier for novices
   to get started. The new underlying protocol is also
   presented, which should enable interoperability
   between various platforms beyond the Java desktop
   environment. The new version of JCSP Networking is currently
   available from the JCSP Subversion repository, under the
   Networking\-2 branch. Details are available at
