My advice is to not use Socket directly - you most likely want to use
SocketStream instead. In 3.9 the SocketStream implementation is new -
and for older Squeaks you can load the new implementation as the package
called FastSocketStream available on SqueakMap.

The only reason AFAIK for OldSocket still hanging around is the fact
that HttpSocket still uses it, but hopefully we will get it moved over
to Socket soon and then it will be removed.
