Speaking and listening to your long lost uncle twice removed on you father's side over the
phone is easy. To speak just direct you voice to that little microphone, part of every phone
these days, and lay forth. To listen just place your ear over the speaker and let nature
take its course. With GAT, interprocess communication is also just that easy.
In calling a GATEndpoint's ``Connect'' function the calling process is presented with
an instance of the class GATPipe. The class GATPipe implements the interface
GATInterface_IStreamable, an interface who's use we have already covered. Through
this interface, the calling process can send or receive missives to its heart's content.
