/**
 * This is the pluggable interface that low-level protocol
 * or vendor providers can implement, often known as a Service Provider 
 * Interface or SPI.
 * Alternatively this may be referred to as the RawProvider interface or RPI, 
 * although technically the Generic SPI or RPI also involves the definition of 
 * the helper classes, such as FreeCallEvent and RawObserver.
 * 
 * <P>Each provider is associated in the ProviderManager with a unique name. 
 * This allows the JTapi Provider to select the correct Peer based on
 * input parameters.  Thus when the GenericJtapiPeer is sent the message
 * JTapiPeer.getProvider(String name), the GenericJTapiPeer can look
 * for a provider by a name in that string, load it and plug it into the generic
 * JTapi classes.
