Does anyone know how I can reference a protected entry?

I am trying to write a generic package that will operate
as an indirection to protected entries- and I can find no
way of referncing the entry.

I tried renaming the entry as a procedure, then passing 
this as a generic parameter, but you then get procedure-
like blocking, which defeats the object.

You also cannot declare access to subprogram types for
entries.

any ideas? thanks,

ian
