you probably didn't understand me :)
RPC calls are made over TCP/IP connections, but there's no reason why each RPC 
should have one connection - they probably should have some id, and should be 
all sent over one connection - i've been to busy to investigate this, but 
since it looks like noone knows anything about it, I'll check if it's 
possible to make it happen.
