Well, it is also a protocol implementation for something like VT102.  A lot
of the tests bypass the byte-level stuff because that's not what's interesting
for what they're testing.  In your actual code, ServerProtocol is what is
responsible for calling keystrokeReceived with all of those interesting
values.
