Max must be in memory on another node if someone is wanting to page :-) Max 
sends internode chat/pages by dumping files into the IPC directory. All it 
needs to do is to be altered to write the files in there regardless of what 
the person on the other node is doing, as long as they haven't flagged 
themseves as not available for chat..
