[Twisted-Python] Confused about threads

Hi,
I'm new to twisted, and have read a few pages, but things are going
over my head and I'm not finding the answer I need.
What I want to do is create a class in my python application which
manages network activity and starts the reactor. I want to run that
class as a thread.
I've done all of this, except when I get to reactor.run(). Then it
says that signal must be started in main. If I move the reactor.run()
into main then it starts up fine - but it doesn't run in a separate
thread. I want the network running in the background in a separate
thread so I can manage other server tasks distinctly.
I realise this is probably a critical misunderstanding on my part of
how twisted is meant to be used - so I'd appreciate any clarifications
on this point that I wasn't able to find in the documentation. Which,
again, is probably just a critical failure of mine to find.
Thanks,
Mark
