/*
 * NetConnect.h - RPC connection handler
 *
 * Classes Defined:
 *
 *	NetEndPoint - an endpoint for making connections 
 *	NetTransport - an RPC connection to/from a remote host 
 *
 * Description:
 *
 *	These classes provide abstract base classes for an endpoint for
 *	a connection, and a connection itself.
 *
 *	It should go without saying, but destructing a NetTransport must 
 *	imply a Close().
 *
 * Public Methods:
 *
 *	NetEndPoint::Listen() - set up for subsequent Accept()
 *	NetEndPoint::ListenCheck() - see if we can listen on the given address
 *	NetEndPoint::Unlisten() - cancel Listen()
 *	NetEndPoint::Transport() - return an appropriate NetTransport
 *	NetEndPoint::GetListenAddress() - return address suitable for Listen()
 *
 *	NetTransport::Accept() - accept a single incoming connection
 *	NetTransport::Connect() - make a single outgoing connection
 *	NetTransport::Send() - send stream data
 *	NetTransport::Receive() - receive stream data
 *	NetTransport::Close() - close connection
 *
 *	NetTransport::GetAddress() - return connection's local address
 *	NetTransport::GetPeerAddress() - return address of the peer
