Just a thought... I'm not sure how much experience you have with sockets in general, but if you want a high level view, languages such as Python make that quicker on Windows and Linux. I wrote a simple Python script to process print output from MVS under Hercules and I remember it being fairly painless. I also played in Rexx, but somehow I felt sockets were an awkward fit. Perhaps I should have tried harder.
And if you want to work at a lower level, I'd have thought that gcc under Linux is a more natural way, with more working examples to view online. Assembly under Windows involves a lot of extra work, and to my mind isn't worth it, compared with using assembly under MVS/ESA, which was a thing of beauty where almost everything behaved as expected from reading the manuals.
