Just endianness issues, or are there deeper differences?
If it's just endianness, it should be relatively easy to get that sorted 
out, either via wrappers around the networking functions, or by 
extending Storable itself (well, it's probably a bit too early for me to 
try this, but there's a good chance that it will be at least one of 
generally useful and instructive *g*).
