It was TCP/IP once it left the raw socket, but it wasn't TCP/IP locally.
It is why dialers were so terrible under Window 3 and why the various
ISPs did everything in their power to push people onto Windows 95 which
was still winsock, but much more like a real stack. At one point AT&T
Worldnet had about 20% of their dialup customers on Win 3 and that was
75% of their support calls.
