    // = TITLE
    //     Defines an CLASSIX IPC connection factory for the
    //     template methods in <ACE_Connector>.
    //
    // = DESCRIPTION
    //     This is used when a client needs to communicate with a server
    //     whose SAP address is unknown.
    //
    //     <ACE_CLASSIX_Connect> and <ACE_CLASSIX_Acceptor> exchanges
    //     address(SAP) information to establish a logical link.
    //
    // = NOTES
    //      There is no other identifier and sequence information
    //      passed between the acceptor and the connector.
    //      Some applications may need to have a
    //      reliable protocol for the connection setup procedure.
    //

    //   ACE_CLASSIX_CLD_Connector
