It is usually a good idea to look in section 22.3 of the DJGPP FAQ list
(v2/faq211b.zip) which lists some packages people keep asking for. In
this case, it describes a couple of libraries that will alow to access
Winsock from a DJGPP program. Note that these do not work with Winsock2
yet, so Windows 98 is currently not supported.

You need to create a native Win32 program for this. Either use RSXNTDJ
add-on or switch to one of the Win32 compilers. See section 3.6 of the
FAQ for more details and URLs.
