25   * The EchoTCPClient class is a TCP implementation of a client for the

27   * establish a connection with

29   * and call {@link DiscardTCPClient#getOutputStream  getOutputStream() } to
30   * retrieve the echo output stream and
31   * {@link #getInputStream getInputStream() }
32   *  to get the echo input stream.
33   * Don't close either stream when you're done using them.  Rather, call
