const IOPORT = 6466
var ioPromise = polyIO.server({port: IOPORT, clientCount: 1, timeoutMs: 15000, debug: false})
polyIO.client({port: IOPORT}) // this exposes a global.client

var msg = {
  input: 'hello js',
  to: 'echo.js',
  intent: 'ping'
}
global.client.pass(msg)
  .then((reply) => {
    if (reply.output === 'ping hello js') {
