There isn't anything for Winsock.dll, but you could use FORMS_FFI interface to hook into any DLL. For examples lookup D2KWUTIL.DLL and D2KWUTIL.PLL these hook into windows API to get an idea. If you install FFIGEN package, it will let you specify a DLL and import all available interfaces in PL/SQL. I think it is somewhere on the CD and is not installed by default, else you can get it from OTN.

Buried somewhere within the Forms directory tree is a 'DEMO' directory, containing a number of .PLL files and associated .HLP files. It's been awhile since playing with Forms, but there's some pretty cool stuff in that directory, and there maybe a .PLL for using winsock IIRC.
