I believe that Sun Microsystems has one as part of their PC-NFS product
line.  Also, recall that the folks at NCSA probably have large chunks of
TCP/IP stuff with their free telnet & ftp sources (on ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu)
that a socket library could be built around.

This discussion belongs in comp.protocols.tcpip.ibmpc (at least as
a cross post -- most of the knowledgeable folks are there not in
the windows group).
