Additional info:

CONNECT2() supports both IPv4 and IPv6.  If you give it an IPv4 address, it 
will connect via IPv4.  If you give it an IPv6 address, it will connect via 
IPv6.

Also, CONNECT2() does not get passed a socket handle, as it creates the 
socket based on the IP type:

     handle = CONNECT2(port,address)
