I just started the work by encapsulating the rather messy port interface
into a C++ class. The interaction between the parent Port class and the
communication specific subclasses, PortInet, etc., are particularly ugly
and ill-defined. I absolutely cringe at the though that somebody might
consider it to be an example of good object design. I'd rate it no
higher than minimal object sanitation necessary to prevent the spread of
disease.
