"UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1 - Networking APIs: Sockets and
XTI" by Richard Stevens. It's a hefty tome but very thorough.

You'd be be using the lower-level C system interface in C++ anyway
(unless you want to build your own Socket classes, or use a thrid
party class library). Note that sockets programming is not part of the
C or C++ standard (but is part of several Unix programming standards,
such as POSIX).

Any Windows or Unix compiler supports sockets. Don't even think of
trying to use Turbo C.
