I'm not sure if you mean socket programming, or something
more specific, as I'm far from guru-hood. ;) But anyway, if
you are not familiar with network socket programming, then
here's a link that was pointed out to me at one time:

http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~beej/guide/net/

Beej's Guide to Network Programming. (Also, you could
search the archives for .. Aw, hell, here it is:

http://devplanet.fastethernet.net/sscript.html

Socket script, which was I believe first posted by JC.
Hope that helps. If not, ah well, I tried.
