sockets as opposed to fifos

I am working on a system that does not support "named pipes" and I am confronted
with the communication issue between "monitors". My question is, has anyone
written code that communicates through "sockets" as opposed to "fifos"? If so,
I would like to interact with you. In short, any form of communication other
than "fifos" is of interest to me (i.e., streams, BSD sockets, etc).
Thanks in advance!

Somebody posted something (last month, I think) about an implementation
using shared memory IPC -- I think it was for Solaris, which seems to have
a dead-slow fifo implementation.

I can forward the message to you if you don't have access to the list
archives.
