Kinetics (see my signature for my bias here) has a "TCPort" product
which is a toolkit to allow you to write TCP applications for the Mac.
TCP itself (as well as IP) runs as a "driver" on the Mac, so is always
there.  One can program it in a "native" way as well as via a Socket interface.
Multiple applications may have TCP connections open at one time, etc.

It requires MPW in order to write applications (if you wish to use the
glue routines we provide).  So, maybe this will satisfy your needs...
