8.9. Conclusion
This chapter contains an example of network communication arrangement possible in Windows 2000. It uses threads in a number of different ways, and you may therefore want to review Chapter 6 for more information on this topic.
Chapter 9 presents Remote Procedure Calls, or RPCs. RPCs automatically work in a client/server fashion and hide most of the network details, so you may want to use them to automate the process of creating client/server applications.
Serial communication over modems is another way for Windows machines to talk to one other. Chapter 11 discusses this topic.
See Chapter 13 for information on security and impersonation in pipes.
