A good one to look at is Hamster, a local newsserver at 
<http://home.arcor.de/tgl70/misc/hamster_en.htm>.  The nice thing about it 
is the source code (in Delphi) is available as well.  It uses overlapped 
I/O on sockets, is multithreaded (a good thing to test), and has detailed 
logging you can turn on.  I've used it to debug socket-related problems in 
the past and even worked on the overlapped I/O problem myself briefly.
