How about UDP calls? I sucked this CL snippet a while back (sorry I don't have the author info at hand). Creates a socket, sends data and receives data:

  (defun create-client (port buffer)
     (let ((socket (usocket:socket-connect "127.0.0.1" port
					 :protocol 
                                         :datagram
					 :element-type 
  '(unsigned-byte 8))))
    (unwind-protect
	 (progn
	   (format t "Sending data~%")
	   (replace buffer #(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8))
	   (format t "Receiving data~%")
	   (usocket:socket-send socket buffer 8)
	   (usocket:socket-receive socket buffer 8)
	   (format t "~A~%" buffer))
      (usocket:socket-close socket))))

Check the Racket docs on UDP[0]. Arc itself is very high-level, but you can do more low-level stuff via Racket interop.
