Interprocess communication through Named pipes Not completely Windows socket but yet IPC and so should be a good start for you.
If you want to see the winsock in action then visit the iit kahargapur's techfest website (khitij) . I remember I participated in an event in 2008 named "mission Mars" there was the clear demo about the Winsock in Borland C++ 5.2... I don't remember the code now but I can give u the code but a little search of hard disk is needed form my end...You can also visit that website and search the archive section...
Yah sure..Instead of link it would be better if i provide u the code itself...I need to search my CDs and harddisk for the code..
See the attached code if you can make out...Actually I have misplaced the simulator to see the code running visually...but i m sure u can understand the code... Providing you the link as well where u can find the simulator i hope... http://2008.ktj.in/#c4ca4238a0b923820dcc509a6f75849b
