Ok,

  He does not answer email at savvis.com

QNX
  sroberts_at_[hidden]
  expressed interest in cleaning up and freshmeating it
  http://www.emyr.net/Sam/
    qnx support, added POP3
    1.10.3

FreeBSD:  sander <sander_at_[hidden]> claims gpl:
  http://www.ug.cs.sunysb.edu/src/ports/net/libsocket++/pkg-descr
  When I questioned him, he states that he is no longer the package
  manager and that he must have had good reason for claiming gpl ness. 

"Greg Lavender" <lavender_at_[hidden]>
     uses 1.10 version for class
   expressed intension/desire to rewrite from ground up in
   standard C++ under BSD style license.  needs student to do
   so

linux: Lauri Nurmi <lanurmi_at_[hidden]> 
 http://www.kauhajoki.fi/~lanurmi/socket++/files/
  1.11
  1.11ln with some patches to build on linux, gcc 2.96(whatver?)

OS/2:

Other related libraries:

skstream
  cvs from worldforge
  /forge/libs/skstream
  http://mail.worldforge.org/archive/server/2001-May/003784.html 

  provides just a socket stream

cppadvio
  http://pobox.com/~oleg/ftp/ 
  http://www.lh.com/~oleg/ftp/packages.html#cpp.advio

  bigendian, little endian streams,
  TCP stream, logging, vocabulary, extended filenames ***
  can link over open() providing extended file semantics

boost - more_io
  takes FILE* as constructor for stream
  works great for real files, but not for streams like from pipe

procbuf old gcc
  depracated not in libstdc++-v3

CommonC++ - A GNU Portable Application Framework
  http://www.voxilla.org/projects/projape.html
  http://sf.net/projects/cplusplus/   <--nice project name :-)
  very comprehensive but kind of API-ish rather
  than library.

ACE - of course
