Sending messages between Revolution executables (Mac)

Maybe this is a bit off topic here, but I'm trying to communicate beetween two Revolution compiled executables with the "send message to application x" command; it is very handy since it avoids opening and using sockets.

The mechanism works perfectly on a single computer, but when I try to do the same beetween two machines on the same network it doesn't work anymore, although the Revolution docs states in the samples

send "get field 3" to program "Corporate Zone:Other Mac:Revolution"

meaning you can send a message to another app running on an AppleTalk network. AppleTalk is turned on in the system>network control panel on both machines

Did anybody experiment with this issue ? Thanks in advance !

There's no real need for double-posting, someone will pick it up, I'm sure
