I am trying to learn about socket's, but I cant find anything to learn from. No books. No magazines. No nothing. So I am posting this so thet maybe I will find out more about sockets. Thanx /> Ronny /> ---------- I have recently written two socket programs, one that uses DGRAMS, and one that uses STREAM type sockets. All they do is return any input they get backwards. If you like, I could mail them to you. Then you could look at the programs, look at various man pages, and then attempt to write a socket program of your own. That's how I learned. mcs
