Are you referring to TClientSocket and TServerSocket?

I HIGHLY suggest NOT using that component. TTcpClient and TTcpServer are
grossly inadequate. They are Borland's attempt at cross-platform sockets,
but they are designed for the common elements that Win32 and Linux both
have, and thus have a lot of missing features, requiring a lot more manual
work on the programmer's part.

You are trying to load a D5 package into D7. You cannot do that. Packages
are version-specific. You have to load D7's version of the package instead.
