While low-level UNIX socket programming can be intimidating, it is
still a useful thing to know.  That said, you might want to check out
the Java stuff for a first idea..  It can be a lot cleaner (I have
never built Java network code, but I've seen some).  

The whole socket stuff isn't intractibly bad.
