Background Internet Connection

I've got EdInternet and OmniNetworking frameworks compiled, and I would
like to use one of them to connect to the internet in the background and
have it update a window and perhaps a list of users upon reason info
from the port.  I was using RealBasic but was frustrated with the
limitations (and cost)  .. How do I get constant network connection?  I
would like to be able to send info to the port and receive info and use
that info to update the gui.  I'm trying to rewrite my battle.net bot.
