This is more a question for -questions than -chat, so I'm following up
there.

I don't think that anybody without UNIX background will get much out
of the telnet or ftp sources--maybe that's why he didn't like what he
saw in usr.bin.  I'd strongly recommend Steven's books, in particular
"UNIX Network Programming", published by Prentice-Hall.  O'Reilly
doesn't have much in the way of network programming books.
