Since AMP is an IProtocol implementation, it is given a reference to its
transport via the makeConnection method (commonly inherited from Protocol
and not overridden - the base implementation sets it as an attribute of
itself, `transport´).  The way to close a TCP connection is to call the
transport's loseConnection method.  So if you have a reference to a
connected AMP instance and you want to disconnect it, you can do

    theProto.transport.loseConnection()
