_Advanced UNIX Programming_, by Mark J. Rochkind, (c) 1985, Prentice-Hall
	ISBN 0-13-011818-4
	ISBN 0-13-011800-1 (paperback)

It is writen on System V Release 2 with some commentary on Xenix and BSD.
HOWEVER, it does present interesting problems and solutions using those
available tools that are portable to today's systems.


Of the list above, Comer was missing.  The original poster asked something
about networking.  A text I have found invaluable is:

Internetworking with TCP/IP: Principles, Protocols, and Architecture
by Douglas Comer, (c) 1988, Prentice-Hall,  ISBN 0-13-470154-2

It is well written and has answered the vast majority of my questions
on networking.
