Method Summary

java.lang.String	getLocation() this should return the iiop://iiop.zeus.bt.com/agentcities/adastral part of the agent aid that was used to find this transport.
Envelope	receive() I am not sure how receive() and receive (long) are going to be relevant to the Zeus model of active mailboxes...
Envelope	receive(long millis) I am not sure how receive() and receive (long) are going to be relevant to the Zeus model of active mailboxes...
void	send(Envelope envelope) I anticipate that the general use case for this method will be to use an implementation of zeus.actors.services.TransportFactory to generate an implentation of this interface, and then call this send method in order to send a message.
