Detailed Description

A general-purpose network client base class.

A client spawns an application-specific MNetProc subclass and connects to a host, sending authentication information. The MNetProc uses the functionality provided by MCommunicator and MProc to implement a (recurrent) request / response worker process which communicates with a server via MCommunicator::send() and MCommunicator::receive(). See MEncoder for generating keys.
