Kevin,
Try "googling" with "online game programming" it will give you lots of links that might be usefull. For example I found someone asking a similar question in
http://www.talkaboutprogramming.com/group/comp.programming/archive/2003-06-11.html and some guy gave some pointers of a webpage and newsgroups for it.
I read long, long time ago this book:
http://www.talkaboutprogramming.com/group/comp.programming/archive/2003-06-11.html, that, as you can see in the cover, includes a one 2D modem to modem game (yes, it is old :) ) but the concepts might still be valid.
I have another excellent game programming book, but, I completely forgot the title, I will search it later when I am at home.
