I am looking for an implementation of TCP/IP on the PC which provides
a programming library.  I would only need the PC to act as a client.

Specifically, I am looking for the socket family of functions (socket(),
connect(), etc.)

I don't need TELNET or FTP (but that wouldn't preclude me from buying the
package).

Also, if SLIP or even dialup SLIP are supported, I would be very interested.

I have information about SUN's PC-NFS product and it seems that it would do
all that I want (plus NFS), however, it costs $395 per PC.  I would prefer
a product which either had a lower run-time system cost or a library which
would not need a run-time distribution (i.e. all of the TCP/IP facilities my
program uses would be linked into my application).
