I'll have to take a look at that.  Cheers.  

When I got my current job, there was a book that one of the chaps had.
For the life of me, I can't remember the name.  I think it was called
"Internet Programming" or something similar, but searching for it
doesn't seem to reveal a match.  It started with serial port
programming, and introduced the layer concept (OSD ??), and later in
the book went on to writing server type applications.  I got through
the first couple of chapters, but the guy left, took the book with
him, and I forgot to get the ISBN no.

Has anybody heard of the book in question (or seen it, purple/black
front cover).

Cheers,

Jim M
