Fell comes to mind when MacOS is mentioned. I'd love to see him come back someday. I can't imagine going cold turkey on QB64, so hopefully he still codes with it.
I fiddled around a bit with TCP/IP networking today, but even with "host" replacing "localhost" I could not get the two computers talking to one anther.
I had my office suite set up for networking, but that was through shared folders, not TCP/IP connections. Definitely two different beasts. I'm done working on this for now, but if I had more time to fiddle with it, I'd go back in time 20 years and see how I setup network sharing for my office suite, and try running the messengers in shared folders on two computers. That might work for home network connections. To communicate with an outside network seems like it would take a lot more protocol than what is presented here.
