I'm currently using libsocket 0.80 under W98 and it works nicely.
The only problem is if you are using dialup with dynamicly changing 
IP you have to manually set it's configuration everytime you want to 
use it. But I wrote a simple (not optimal) program which can do this 
automatically.
 
As this just comes up I have a question to Richard:
I'm doing this by using winipcfg's "/batch" parameter and than reads 
from the output file. Maybe the program could be helpful? It surely 
needs to be done a bit more robust. But you seem to have discontinued 
the work on libsocket.
