ok, really the important part of what i now see was quite a long winded 
ramble ;) was this:

so calls in both directions and the server being able to identify deal 
with _specific_ clients or a _specific subset_ of clients all clients.

this last parts are what seemed to fit with pb and avatar on my reading.

i'm not looking for any implementation details at this point, just 
wanting to make sure i got off on the right foot using twisted, since it 
has so many parts...

ok, nice to know. i'm also hoping the twisted pb stuff will accomplish 
some of the lifting for me, ie that i won't have to go quite so low 
level... i guess i'll see on that when i start to suck it. ;)
