Hello, 

I'm doing a project where in the NIOS II board is a server which sends the real time data from the PIO peripheral to the HOST Client upon request..Now since i do not have a software background i'm finding little bit difficult to understand many of the system calls that is used by the example software program i.e., simple socket server. I understand that in this application host PC communicates with the board through telnet but now my intention is to write a client program with same function as what telnet isdoing.. Can any one help me in writing a server program and a client program.. I also need to know whether using VB.net is good for developing client program on host PC as it is easy and platform independent...

The function calls used are following the Berkley sockets API, which is the most common API used on IP. 

Any good book or online resource (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/berkeley_sockets) about Berkley/BSD sockets should help you understand the code.
