You know the rule: "Never ever give up!!! ;))
No matter how complicated a thing is."

Therefore I want to ask you another question.
Can you recommend me a good book for
a beginner in Network-programming under Unix?
You have seen what I have coded, so what kind of book
would be the right one for me? Are there any "Dummies"-type-books
for "Network programming"?

Unfortunately there is also another problem. I have to learn it
fast. :((
So this book should also be structured like a lexion (or something
similar.)

Please help me!
I beg you! |)

Regards
Karl.

Yes you're right.
