I'm afraid you misunderstood the original poster. He was not asking
for a game using sockets (as e.g. broken throne and one dozen other
games is) after an implementation of sockets.
                   ==============

Sockets is an OS service under BSD Unix and has been copied to many
other UNIXes (including many Sys V Unixes). Thus most multi-player
networked games use them. Unfortunately some Sys V derivative vendors
decided not to include sockets, but instead to implement other kinds
of network communication. What the original poster wants is a way to
emulate sockets using the network calls he has available (unless I
misunderstand him). Too bad I don't know any such emulation nor have I
heard of one.

If anyone has, please post.
