The status is out-of-band. There is no provision to get status on the
"server responding" socket. Hence, a new ATP handle is made and used
to get the status from the NBP registered address.
No requests are required to be from the "client responding" socket.
However, since PAP only allows a single outstanding read request, we
use the same ATP handle (atp) for responding and reading. We send the
tickles with a different ATP handle (satp) since the ATP library can't
handle two simultaneous outstanding requests.
