I have not actually used any sockets libraries from pure DOS,
but they do exist. DJ Delorie ported the Lynx web browser to
DOS using the Waterloo TCP stack -- unfortunately I can't find
it on Simtelnet at the moment, sorry.
If you go to:
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/dl/elsewhere.html
you'll find links to many djgpp-related packages, including
the Waterloo TCP/IP stack and another (which I also haven't
investigated fully) -- Karn's KA9Q NOS TCP/IP.
Ove Kaaven started developping an IP layer to work on top of
packet drivers some time ago but I don't think he had time to
get TCP working. Aparently UDP works, but I didn't have the
opportunity to test it. If you like I can try to dig out a
link to it, or you could contact him yourself --
