A well-written C++
sockets class library -- unfortunately it doesn't compile
out of the box for Linux.
A nice set of Java network
components is available from the now defunct Oro Inc. There
are compents to build clients for telnet, SMTP (mail), FTP, NNTP, POP,
TFTP, finger, Whois and several other popular protocols.
Similar libraries exist for other languages as well (Python
ships with a comprehensive collection of client
classes and frameworks).
JavaSoft (Sun) has defined the JavaMail API and has an
implementation available via the JavaSoft home page.
