Is there any way to read or write to a socket besides using the
read() and write() functions. Is there any way to treat it like a stream and use the insertion/extraction operators (<< and >>)? The reason I ask is because with read I have to put an arbitrary size on the message to be read, but that can vary.

You'll need a C++ wrapper library. I don't know any off the top of my head.

Microsoft MFC has a c++ socket classes, but I hear it isn't very well liked. You might check boost libraries, it probably has something.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

socket++ is a library that i have used. it works resonably well. it has a distinct c++ feel about it;
sockets in the library have the same interface as the streams in the iostream library. here is the link:
