Will 3.0 have UP/DOWN Exits are well as compass points and IN/OUT? Also, for multi-player, will that be multi-player across machines? Or is it multi-player on the same machine (which doesn't make much sense). If the former, what's the machine connection protocol?

Up/Down support is on the "to do" list and should hopefully appear in Quest 3.0.
QX 3.0 is multiplayer across multiple machines over the internet. One machine runs the QX server program, and that will accept incoming connections from people running Quest, who can then a multiplayer game.
The connection protocol is called QXCP and is a protocol of my own design to connect Quest to QX servers. I'll be publishing details at some point so people can create their own clients or web interfaces etc., but this won't be available for a while yet.
