Greetings,
not really sure if this actually belongs here, but its worth a try. I had an idea for a networking api and I was wondering if it would be better to use the raw modem api or just rednet?

if you're going to make a networking API definitely use the Modem API. it gives you greater control over the messaging system. The Rednet API is just a wrapper around the Modem API. Depending on what (and how) you're going to do this networking api, you may even want to do a top level coroutine override (search it) and remove the coroutine that generates the Rednet events.

I'd say the raw modem API. It generally allows finer control about stuff like channels. It's mostly personal preference thought. What are you making?
