Socket/X provides you with full access to the power of Windows Sockets,
   making it easy to write TCP/IP or UDP client and server software.
   Socket/X comes in ActiveX control and COM object forms. Because Socket/X
   is both an ActiveX control and a COM object, you can use it nearly
   anywhere -- ASP pages, Visual Basic applications, Visual C++
   applications, anywhere that supports either COM objects or ActiveX
   controls
