It did not work for me when I tried it a few years ago.  I tried to make a
smart whois program.  I did not find out it would not work until after I
finished writing it. :(  The explanation I got was that the Dolphin Sockets
depended upon windows.  For some reason I have a vague feeling like that may
change in D6.

Here is the thread from my last experience:
