Actually, squeak-vm already supports both styles of address resolution. In your Squeak image you need to switch to the new primitives.
See e.g.
http://lists.squeak.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2011-May/160017.html
If you have a SocketPlugin patch to make the old primitives work better, please submit it upstream (Squeak's vm-dev list). This would allow to use old Squeak images unchanged.
