_The Manuscript_, Michael Stephen Fuchs
Someone wrote a thriller with the Internet as a major part of the scenery, and I only have two quibbles:
1. IP port ranges are 0-64K, not "infinite".
2. The book was written late enough that most of the people involved would have been using SSH, not telnet.
Tense, complex plotting. A good (and debatable) MacGuffin. Vividly drawn characters. I like this one a lot.
