		The options dictionary is in the format of a Network Service
		as described in SystemConfiguration.

		Note: Starting and stopping of connections is implicitely arbitrated.
		Calling Start on a connection already started will indicate

		of all the settings will be done before the connection is established,
		and inappropriate options will be ignored.

	@param linger This parameter indicates whether or not the connection can stay around
		when the application no longer has interest in it.
		Typical application should pass FALSE, and the Stop function will
		automatically be called when the reference is released or if the application quits.
		If the application passes TRUE, the application can release the reference
		or exit and the Stop function will not be called.
