I thought the whole point of IP is that it's one protocol to run over
the top of every possible transport?
What *I* love about Java so much is the way especially the AWT has
apparently multiple methods which seem to do the same thing, but don't.
For example, an applet has the start() and init() methods. But they're
different. But nobody really knows why.
The API seems to abound with huge classes that have complex interfaces
that aren't really documented very much. You're just supposed to *guess*
what all those methods do and what they're for.
