<P>
Maintains a connection between a Java process and a remote Erlang, Java or C
 node. The object maintains connection state and allows data to be sent to and
 received from the peer.
 
 <p>
 Once a connection is established between the local node and a remote node,
 the connection object can be used to send and receive messages between the
 nodes and make rpc calls (assuming that the remote node is a real Erlang
 node).
 
 <p>
 The various receive methods are all blocking and will return only when a
 valid message has been received or an exception is raised.
 
 <p>
 If an exception occurs in any of the methods in this class, the connection
 will be closed and must be explicitely reopened in order to resume
 communication with the peer.
 
 <p>
 It is not possible to create an instance of this class directly.
 OtpConnection objects are returned by <A HREF="../../../../com/ericsson/otp/erlang/OtpSelf.html#connect(com.ericsson.otp.erlang.OtpPeer)"><CODE>OtpSelf.connect()</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../../../../com/ericsson/otp/erlang/OtpSelf.html#accept()"><CODE>OtpSelf.accept()</CODE></A>.
