Binary protocol project as example to jump start a project for aclient side

[Curt Smith <chsmith@speakeasy.net>]

We may want to implement an async IP based protocol client side.  
The async protocol is based on start byte sequence, message header,
body byte count, body, ending byte sequence.

We need to implement only the client side.  The server side is a unisys 
system
and some application implementing the active socket server.

A basic send - expect with various commands and responses.  A keep alive
message too.

No idea yet about concurrency support on more than one socket, nor am I 
expecting
this protocol server to support windowing since there's no message 
sequence numbers.

So a simple protocol example would be a great start.   It doesn't need 
to use the NIO
package to be useful.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, curt
