/**
* <p>
* This program is only slightly more complex than {@link TcpExamples.TcpExample1Telnet},
* counting each connection instead of immediately exiting after the first connection.
* The only thing this program does differently is introduce a loop into the response,
* so you don't have to restart the program after one response.
* Also, it prints out the socket pair the server sees.
* </p>
* <p>
* Suggestion: connect to this program via telnet several times,
* comparing the socket-pair responses each time.
* </p>
* <p>
* <b><code>telnet localhost 2317</code></b>
* </p>
* <p>
* If you're paying attention (and sophisticated!) you can contact the
* another person's computer in class while running this program. This is
* a good way to check local-area network (LAN) connectivity.
* To learn that local computer's IPv4 Address, type
* </p>
* <p>
* <b><code>ipconfig</code></b>
* </p>
* <p>
* (On the NPS campus you might get a ipOfServerLaptop number like 172.20.148.215).
* The someone else (or even that person) can run
* </p>
* <p>
* <b><code>telnet ipOfServerLaptop 2317</code></b>
* </p>
* <p>
* If this program is running, then that machine displays the current counter value of
* socket pairs received.
