Zoro, go to a local book store and buy W. Richard Stevens amazing book, Unix
network programming volume 1. Everything (I mean everything) you ever wanted
to know about sockets and network programming is in this book. It cost me $45
US -- it is worth every cent.
W. Richard Stevens is one of the top CS people -- up there with Knuth in my
book.
