/******************************************************************************

        Abstract class to asynchronously listen for incoming data on a 
        socket. This can be used with DatagramSocket & MulticastSocket, 
        and might possibly be useful with a basic SocketConduit also.
        Note that DatagramSocket must first be bound to a local network
        address via bind(), and MulticastSocket should first be made a 
        member of a multicast group via its join() method. Note also
        that the underlying thread is not started by the constructor;
        you should do that manually via the start() method.
