Yes, get Doug Comer's new book Volume II of his "The Design of the
XINU Operating System, an Internetworking Approch" (I think I got that
right, don't have it right here.)

I think a perusal of it will convince you of it's applicability, he
builds an entire implementation module by module, with code and text
explaining it. Includes things like a diskless client/server and other
goodies beyond the standard protocols.

While you're down at the bookstore pick up a copy of Padlipsky's "The
Elements of Networking Style". It's a small tome and explains a lot of
the issues in the design decisions in a, well, let's call it "unique"
style, it's very amusing and worth understanding.
