Some other good sources for network programming:
libgnet-1.1.tar.gz – Network game programming library

I also use libgnet-1.1 to study from. It is Unix/Linux specific and won’t

FWIW, ALL references are to Unix/Linux information, as I only use Linux. I
won’t post files to the mail list because it could cause major problems
should mail get bounced for whatever reason.
If you want any of the files listed, post your email address and I’ll send
you a zipped and tarred copy.
