C++ Network integration

[jmac555]

Hi,
let me just start by saying I am a fairly experience C++ coder, however by the looks of it nowhere near as experienced as some of the gurus on this forum. So because of this I am seeking your advice as to what is the best way to go about integrating network functions into a C++ program would be (for example maybe a simple telnet like program) and where is the best place to read up on it?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Read up on using sockets, that's what you are looking for. There are a couple different socket libraries out there, more or less they all do the same thing.

Thanks for the advice,
has anyone had any experience of using a well documented (preferabbly with a good tutorial) socket library?
If so please pass on the name
