   An object of this class is a channel switch for use with an AbyssServer
   object, which means it listens for and accepts requests from clients to
   open a communication channel to the server (in its most popular form,
   it is an interface to a Unix stream socket in listen mode).

   This is an abstract base class.  There are derived classes for specific
   kinds of underlying communication media, such as Unix sockets.
