Announce: Client server tutorial

[Joe Armstrong]

  Why I wrote this was because  I wanted a low level IP interface, and
needed a simple way of writing  a bridge between a high level protocol
(like TCP)  and a  much lower level  where I  can send and  receive IP
packets directly - and that you can't do in Erlang :-(
