As of IRIX 3.3, the Network Communications Guide replaced the TCP/IP 
User's Guide. The programming examples have been updated.
Some sample TCP and UDP programs are on-line if you've installed 
the 4Dgifts stuff from the DEV (development) tape. Look in the 
/usr/people/4Dgifts/examples/network directory.
