Take a look at RSXNTDJ. I believe it is available in the vt2k directory of the
DJGPP archive.

Take a look at the Winsock Programmer's FAQ. There is a link to it from here:

    http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/lsck/lsck_lnk.htm

The Winsock API is similar to the BSD sockets API in many ways, but there are
some important differences: there are initialisation/uninitialisation
functions; there are some extra functions for asynchronous I/O.

Hope that helps, regards,
