> Windows did not even ship with a sockets layer (winsock) until 1994, with Windows NT 3.5, and it made its way to consumers with Windows 95.
A lot of people used third party Winsock implementations, e.g. Trumpet Winsock, under Windows 3.1. As a 1990s teenager I remember seeing it a lot. Even into the second half of the 1990s, because it wasn’t like all Windows 3.1 machines were upgraded as soon as Windows 95 came out.
