   Oh, sorry.   
      
   Since you mention Int 21h (i.e. pure DOS service), you can only use files as   
   the communication media. Or use a more direct approach via Windows interrupt   
   service (i.e. Int 2Fh) by communicating through Windows virtual devices (see   
   Windows 3.x DDK).

   That's for 16-bit Windows program. Not DOS program. Meaning that Win16 API   
   is used.   
      
   I don't know what are your requirements, but is UDP socket not applicable   
   too?
