Hi Bill,

   I have used Scott Klement's socket tutorial to connect to a web 
server.  The example I found allowed you to give the program a URL (or IP 
address) and a port number (80 in my case).

   Connecting to another TCP/IP device should work exactly the same way.

   Basically you open the socket, connect to the IP address and it 
transmits data to you.  The folks who make the Linx V Data Collection 
terminal will have to give you the specifics of how that data is 
formatted.

   Unfortunately I no longer have the tutorial or the little test program 
I wrote.  You can probably find them on the 'net with a little searching.

Good luck!
