Does it change from worker to worker, or from the other end, client to client? My gut feeling is that - as in all releationships in my life - that it would take time to 'suss' each other out a bit - some grow deeper and other remain task/activity focussed as that is the only 'çonnection' sometimes. What is your experience?
