Is there an alternative to fsockopen() {to be used with PayPal IPN}, in the case that my host doesn't allow it ?

fopen() can be used sometimes with certain URL wrappers, file() in some cases, but it depends really, are you reading / writing...?

You can sockets, but if they've disabled fsockopen, then sockets was probably disabled as well.
