I don't think there's any reason one couldn't write externs to make point-to-point signal connections over a networ, using the subset of threads that Windows supports. I think that whether to use point-to-point or broadcast is a separate question. Also, most receivers of "streams" just put out garbage when the signal degrades; a "netreceive~" object could be coded to do the same if desired.

I believe pthreads-win32 doesn't handle signals ala posix (I don't know how anyone could do this in Windoes) but is as compatible as possible given that it runs on windows.
i see, so it's probably a good idea to use broadcasts instead of signals...
