The following message was send to the list some time ago, probably the links

I think you need to use the winsock API. I've never used it, but it
appears to provide a Unix compatible TCP/IP interface. The FAQ is at:

Don't forget to also check out the winsock API (there's a link in the
FAQ but here it is anyway:
http://www.sockets.com/winsock2.htm#Docs
Good luck,
