=head1 NAME

RFID::Alien::Reader::TCP - Implement L<RFID::Alien::Reader|RFID::Alien::Reader> over a TCP connection

=head1 SYNOPSIS

This class takes a host and port to connect to, connects to it, and
implements the Alien RFID protocol over that connection.  It can use
the reader's builting TCP service, or a serial-to-Ethernet adapter
plugged into the serial port of the reader; I tested it with both.
