There are a couple of frameworks that I've seen mentioned (SmallSockets and
OmniNetworking), which I have no clue about. But if you want to roll your
own, just use standard BSD sockets and TCP/IP or UDP (as appropriate).
Check out Stevens' "Unix Network Programming: Vol 1", which is pretty much
the only text you need on the subject. That, in conjunction with places
like www.sockets.com and various other tutorial/info sites should give you
everything you need to get rocking.
