I started with the man pages nd the sources to a few MUD servers. 
Steven's "Unix Network Programming" and "Advanced Programming Int The Unix
Environment" are both excellant.  I use Steven's "TCP/IP Illustrated" (in
three volumes) as my ultimate reference.  There is another 3 volume TCP/IP
reference set (forget title or author, but I haven't used or studied them. 


There are a few good 'net references:
