various types and constants used by Network Stream clients.
WaitTime: TYPE = LONG CARDINAL; -- msecs

the following apply only to circuit-oriented networks (e.g. phone network)
noAnswerOrBusy, -- auto-dial case only
noTranslationForDestination, -- no phone number for this destination
circuitInUse, -- being used to talk to another destination
circuitNotReady, -- dial the phone or connect modems (non-auto-dial case)
noDialingHardware, dialerHardwareProblem};

LOG
(trimmed to Teak)
Time: January 22, 1980 10:37 PM By: Dalal Action: made ListenerHandle a LONG.
Time: January 22, 1980 10:37 PM By: BLyon Action: Changed SpecialNSAddress to NSAddress, ListenerHandle is opaque TYPE, made uniqueNetworkAddress READONLY (from CONSTANT).
Time: August 6, 1980 10:21 AM By: Garlick Action: Added several FailureReason's for circuit-oriented networks.
Time: October 10, 1980 4:47 PM By: Garlick Action: Added FailureReason noAnswerOrBusy.
Time: January 26, 1981 9:55 AM By: Garlick Action: Added FailureReason noServiceAtDestination and SuspendReason remoteServiceDisappeared. Deleted ERROR AttentionTimeout and added SIGNAL ListenTimeout. Made several timeout values default. Added a ClassOfService parameter to Create, CreateTransducer, and Listen. Added infiniteWaitTime.
