A client is any program that can connect to a server.

There are a three major types of client-server connnections. Here is a list with clients on the left and servers on the right:

ASSS and subgame can both connect to a biller using the original billing protocol. ASSS also has the capability to connect to a user database that implement the TCP Billing Protocol.
