1. A protocol emulation system comprising:
at least one emulation housing configured by a protocol emulation definition for initiating protocol emulation sessions in accordance with data contained in the protocol emulation definition file; and
an interface including a display, configured by the protocol emulation definition, that displays data related to the session created by the emulation housing and facilitates the entry of commands and configuration data from a user, the commands and configuration data being transmitted to the emulation housing and modifying the behavior thereof; and
an emulation controller that distributes protocol emulation definitions and acts as a conduit of data and commands between the emulation housing and the interface.
