I have... and there is a very good writeup on it in a recent News/400 issue
(may, I think).  You'll also find a number of VERY good resources on this
list and MIDRANGE-L... sure helped me a lot (Thanks again Bob & Buck).

It's not for the faint at heart... but rewarding in the end... and most
assuredly a learning experience.

Writing a sockets program in RPG is (kinda) similar to writing one in C, 
although you address the C functions from your ILE RPG IV program.
