-    <title>Purpose</title>
-    <p>Inets is a container for Internet clients and
-      servers. Currently, an <term id="HTTP"></term>client and server, a
-      TFPT client and server, and a FTP client has been incorporated

-    <title>The Service Concept</title>
-    <p>Each client and server in inets is viewed as service.  Services

-      distributed application that should handle application failover
-      and takeover, services should be configured to be started at
-      application startup. When starting the inets application
-      the inets top supervisor will start a number of subsupervisors
-      and worker processes for handling the different services
-      provided. When starting services dynamically new children will
-      be added to the supervision tree, unless the service is started
