I'm a little late on this thread (been working hard)...
In true Peer-to-Peer, there isn't an intermediary server to route the
requests. Each app is both client and server, who can talk to each
other directly. Many so-called P2P apps aren't really, since they use a
routing server. You knock out the main server, you loose the ability to
communicate.
I'm writing as P2P app right now. It's called ThoughtConduit. It really
wasn't to difficult -- You write some server code to receive data, you
write some of code to send data. Right now, TC data is passed as SOAP
messages.
* We are also creating a routing app in WebObjects that can offer many
of the desktop features to users logged in at the site. This is just to
support those who would sacrifice true P2P for the convenience of doing
transactions through the browser.

Carracho is definitely not peer-to-peer, it's very much client-server.
Not sure about Acquisition.
Acquisition is a cocoa wrapper to gnutella (sp), so it is peer-to-peer.
However, I don't know, if I read the last email correctly, it sounds
like he
wants more client/server than peer-to-peer. I could be wrong.
How does peer-to-peer work? Is it just that everyone's application
acts both
as client and server? This is probably the wrong place for this, but it
might help the original poster out.
