The standard response is, of course : W. Richard Stevens, 'Unix Network Programming'. from Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-949876-1. WRS' homepage is http://www.noao.edu/~rstevens/. And then if he wants to understand the kernel side of things, there are volumes by the same author (2 or is it 3 now?) which should be listed in the reading list in the FAQ or handbook somewhere. If he's really serious, he should check the -hackers list archive for Terry's Reading List, which covers the very deepest and darkest corners of the Unix thoughtspace. > Jeremy Sigmon B.S.
