SocketQ is a high performance ActiveX/COM DLL designed exclusively for the purpose of creating high performance network server and client applications on Windows 9x/NT/2000.

SocketQ achieves this by taking advantage of the fastest method for transferring data that is available on all of the target platforms (called Overlapped I/O).

Features include sync/asyn connects with timeouts, multi-threaded sending/receiving, support for multi-homed machines, access to socket options to change Winsock headers for connection customization, and more, all while still providing a simple interface to interact with.
