Another thing: Can anyone suggest what's the most portable networking

C, "Berkeley Sockets" seems to be the main one. What about C++, what's
the best networking library to use if you're looking to maximise
portability? (Remember that I need to be able to send and receive full
Ethernet frames).
Berkeley Sockets.
And one last thing: My program won't have a fancy GUI, it'll just be a
console application. I realise that neither the C nor C++ standard
libraries provide fancy facilities for setting the text colour, but
I'm wondering is there a portable library out there for doing this? I
recall using "conio.h" a few years ago but I don't know if this is the
"de facto" standard.
For what platform? "conio.h" is a DOS-ism. In the Unix world,
ncurses (<curses.h>)
is more popular and portable. It all depends. Ask in a group
dedicated to your
platform.
