- Karl,
-
- Get your hands on a copy of Richard Stevens book
-
- "UNIX Network Programming" Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ
-
- ISBN:0-13-949876-1
-
- It is the absolute bible on this type of stuff. It includes complete
- example programs using PTY's (SYSV and BSD). Plus it includes
- other really nifty stuff for the "network" programmer.
-
- Good luck.
