  <p>I'd like to learn how to make two machines communicate, sending and receiving simple strings. The machines might be on the same LAN--or not. I'm talking about something more or less like you'd see in a chat program, I suppose. I understand Delphi, but know absolutely nothing about things like TCP, sockets, ports, etc. Where would you suggest I look to learn these things? ... I know how to use google but, honestly, I'm not totally sure even where to start the search!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, as always.</p>
