NSPort uses NSRunLoop to send and receive data asynchronously with
other input/output events and timers.
(a simple call to read() or write() would block the process).
As soon as data is received, it notifies its delegate.
If you use NSConnection over NSPorts, each NSConnection instance
registeres itself 
as the deleagte of the receiving port.
