ISBN 0-13-490012-X (US$ 52.95 www.bookpool.com) As another fellow mentioned earlier, this is where the collective wisdom of network programming is kept :-) When you get ready for kernel level network programming, get "TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2". There is no substitute. -Richard ------------------------------------------- Richard Hodges | Matriplex, inc. | 769 Basque Way rh@matriplex.com | Carson City, NV 89706 775-886-6477 | www.matriplex.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
