client server framework

Ok, I am looking to see if someone can point me in the direction of a
simple client server framework for passing messages between two
computers?

Basically I will have two computers on their own, isolated network. I
want to be able to pass messages from the client to a server. The
message contains a state and a command, as well as a data portion. The
data portion can be either a char*, an int, or two ints currently.

I have been looking at sockets, but am fairly new at this. I figure
before I went and invested the time upfront to learn good socket
coding standards, i'd see if there was a good framework out there.

Thanks.

If it helps, i am using Borland C++ Builder 2007. I looked at
http://linuxgazette.net/issue79/tougher.html but was unable to get it
to compile with BCB 2007. I am fairly new to both BCB 2007 and C++ as
I just switched to C++ from Delphi Pascal.

I think what you refer to as a command I might call a message
ID. Do you represent commands with an integer type?
What is the state? Why is it separate from the data portion?
The way I usually do things a message ID is the first part of
a message and there may be some header information (such as
the total length of the message) and then the data.

RCF might fit your bill:

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
