     * @class TP_Remote_Request
     *
     * @brief Represents a "queue-able", remote, CORBA request.
     *        Both syncronous and asynchronous remote CORBA requests
     *        are represented by the class.
     *
     * TBD - Go over the following comments and clean up.
     *
     * Since this class derives from the TP_Request class, it can be
     * added to a TP_Queue (ie, it is a "queueable" request).  It
     * represents a servant request that has been made by a remote
     * CORBA client (as opposed to a collocated CORBA client).  The
     * term "CORBA client" is being used here to distinguish CORBA
     * servant requests (those made thru a CORBA object reference), and
     * "Custom" servant requests that can be "dispatched" to the strategy
     * directly by the client application code (ie, not thru a CORBA
     * object reference).  Thus, there are "CORBA clients" and
     * "Direct clients".
     *
     * In summary, this class represents a servant request made when a
     * remote client invokes a method on a CORBA object reference.
