Here's an article about using sockets in Silverlight and here is a link to framework simplifying that. Also a quick search on google will turn up useable results!

Yes, you can, but only within a certain range of ports (4502-4534) and only if you can also host an appropriate cross-domain policy file on port 943 on the same server. You've already got the MSDN link - here's an example application (for SL2, but should be similar in 3):

[Pushing Data to a Silverlight Client with Sockets Part 1][1]

Search Dan's blog for "socket" and you can find part 2 and how to create the policy server - SO won't let me post more than 1 link :(
