Andy,
It looks like you are doing some interesting things!!
I am no were near you level of understanding things, so I can't help
you...However, I am interested in what you are doing. I am working on a
Remote Backup system. I really want kind of a database driven system to
handle the SFTP connections and am looking into twisted to provide
that. Can you tell me a little more about what you are trying to accomplish?
Thanks,
Dave Leedom
