[OT] PVM question

Hi there,

First, sorry for being off-topic, this is a question concerning
PVM and I noticed that some of you are using it.

A bit of background: I'm working as a sysadmin at a software
company and we're developing some sort of knowledge management
system which is based on a client-server architecture.
Currently we're thinking about replacing our current middleware
with something else (open-source if possible) and a colleague of
mine is having a look at PVM. AFAIK he's rather pleased with it,
but unfortunately it appears, that if you want 2 machines to
communicate, you have to have a pvm daemon running on each. My
question is: Is there some way that we can avoid having to run a
daemon on the client (our client is written in java and we don't
want to port the pvm stuff)? Please assume that I don't know
much about pvm.

Many thanx in advance,
        Konrad

P.S.: I don't think a lot of people are interested in this, so
please contact me off the list.
