Named pipes to remote machines?

[Dan Kegel]

A user asked in
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine/msg/06fbfdfb53a28cbd
whether Wine could communicate with remote
machines via named pipes yet (he needs it to
talk with an SQLServer box).

I know Alexandre's been poking around in that area, but
I think he's working on local networking, not remote.
I also know Kai Blin had looked at this, but I don't know where he left it.

Can someone summarize the current state and plan, if any?

Here are some past discussions on the topic:
