[Nottingham] Easy network programming

[Michael Simms]

I wrote a complete network layer (made for games but can be used for
most things), in C, http://opensource.linuxgamepublishing.com

Does everything you need in a few lines of code. It isnt technically
cross-platform yet, but it should compile on pretty much anything. The
bonus being, Im happy to give you any information you need on how it
works, right from the horses mouth.

It does pretty much everything, server, client, message sending (text or
data), choice of protocols, keeping track of users, etc etc...
