you will need to read the protocol and implement a UDP based client that will generate 3 quotes of the day.

"

UDP Based Character Generator Service Another quote of the day service is defined as a datagram based application on UDP. A server listens for UDP datagrams on UDP port 17. When a datagram is received, an answering datagram is sent containing a quote (the data in the received datagram is ignored). 

"

your class should take one parameter: the host to contact to get a quote. (djxmmx.net is a public one you can use.) by default it will print 3 quotes, but you also need to take a --count option to change the number of quotes to print. make sure you get exactly the required number of distinct quotes. your program should look for dropped packets and duplicates.
