Hi.
How would I be able to read from a socket, but still take in info from the 
keyboard and send it out;kind of like telnet?

Start a thread, in that thread read data from the socket into a buffer.  
The main thread then loops checking for data in the buffer and checking  
for keystrokes. You need a non blocking keystroke checking function, some  
functions block until a complete line has been entered. You'll need to  
synchronise access to the socket and the buffer, probably best to place  
both of these in a class dedicated to this purpose.

Here is an example telnet program I just wrote in D. I don't guarantee it  
works at all, especially on anything other than windows, or for the most  
basic things.
