A peer a server that has client-like behaviour. Other peers can connect to a peer. A peer can connect to other peers. A peer contains a list of other peers it knows about. A peer can transmit the list of peers it knows about to another peer.

Order of operations:

1. Start the server
2. When a Send occurs, attempt connection with another Server

RTFXPeer Details:

1. The name of the mailbox is preset to DEFAULT and cannot be changed (otherwise the system would be too complicated)
2. The Peers do not use the Client-style reading to receive parcels, the Server portion should handle that.
