Well, since it's only the '80's this should be more than adequate for the
task at hand:

	UNIX Network Programming
	W. Richard Stevens
	Prentice Hall
	ISBN 0-13-949876-1
	(c) 1990

It's a practical treatment of the 2 major 'flavors' of UNIX, BSD and System V.
It has many examples of C programming, mainly network projects, but also other
system treatments (i.e., what exactly is a daemon process).
