   Our Acceptor_Service class also needs to inherit from
   ACE_Service_Object. ACE_Service_Object is an abstract class which
   includes methods called by the Service Configurator framework to
   start, remove, suspend or resume our service.

   You might have noticed that we didnt explicitly inherit from
   ACE_Service_Object here. That is because, ACE_Acceptor derives from
