I don't know about a direct access to sockets from within Mathematica - 
which does not mean it isn't there somewhere. Searching the 
documentation center didn't give anything useful. My guess is that your 
best bet is to use JLink or - if you are on Windows - NetLink for direct 
socket access. If you are an experienced system programmer and have good 
knowledge of C you could also consider to use "low level" mathlink.

Anyway, maybe someone else knows more about this, for sure Wolfram's 
developer staff should know every detail...
