The 2.6 "xmlrpc.py" file provides support for a traceback.
It will tell you about the location and cause of the exception.

I think, I posted a patch with similar functionality for Zope 2.5.1.
Search the archives...

No, it does not.

TCP/IP connections (and therefore HTTP and
XML-RPC connections) are bi-directional.
You can read and write to them. TCP/IP transparently handles
the transport. (Of course, TCP/IP knows the IP address of both
ends of the connection).
