Not really an answer to your question but for the R9 GS Erlang
application and Windows we let the port program (wish) open a
localhost socket to Erlang. The port pipe not really used for
anything. I don't know if a pipe is faster than sockets on Windows
2000 but because we support older windows versions where pipes didn't
work that well this seem to be a more safe solution in our case,
