1. Socket++ is probably the most popular library in this area. Originally written by Gnanasekaran Swaminathan for UNIX environments, it's been later ported to Win32 by Greg Lavender.
   
2. Maciej Sobczak releases an iostream-compatible socket wrapper along with his article on the current (December 2001) C/C++ Users Journal issue, which in addition features other articles about C++ and sockets you might find interesting to look at.
   
3. socketstream library, written by a Korean guy whose name I haven't been able to decipher Haven't tested myself, nor do I have any reference about it.
