I've written a library for doing portable C++ RPC's, which can be downloaded at

http://www.codeproject.com/threads/RMI_For_Cpp.asp

Is there any interest in Boost for something like this, and if so in what directions do you all think it should be developed?

Yes.

Would it be possible to use the library as communication channel between isolated threads, like it is in language Erlang (http://www.erlang.org/)?

I'm not familiar with Erlang, but certainly one could set things up so that every thread listens on a port of its own, and only communicates with other threads by sending messages (one-way rpc's). The syntax would be pretty clean, I think. /Jarl
