	GNet was designed so that most of the implementation is hidden
	from the programmer.  You should not have to include any
	network header files other than
	gnet.h.
      
	By convention, integers are usually transfered in big-endian,
	or network-byte, order.  GLib has conversion functions for
	shorts and ints: g_ntohs (network-to-host
	short), g_htons (host-to network short),
	g_ntohl (network-to-host long), and
	g_htonl (host-to-network long).
