Ok. Your definition of a 'connection manager' is a combination of my
'clients/servlets'. My connection manager is simply the 'let' whch
clientlets are initially connected to, and handles passing off
requests to the right servlets. The exact mechanism of this is yet to be
decided, however.

Once this is sorted out, the next step will be deciding the format of the
request_t, clientlet_t and servlet_t types.

I'll gladly take diffs to the paper, since I have it here in CVS.

Thanks,

Adrian
