It's possible in WP for Windows 6.0 to use a MAPI mailsystem within the
program. Is there such a mailprogram which uses winsock, if there is, is it
possible for me to ftp it?

I know of ECS which can use the IMAP protocol (is this the same as MAPI?) but
WP doesn't recognise it as an mailsystem. The server has an IMAP (IMAP2bis)
server (imapd) running. ECS runs perfectly outside WP.

Well, Trumpet holds the names of all the groups it knows of on your NNTP
server in the news.grp file which is either in the program directory if youre
using a local copy, or in your mail directory if youre on a Novell network.
If you delete it the program will be forced to re-read all the group names
when next it runs. Be prepared for a long wait if your server carries a large
number of groups...

Subject: IP checksum errors

I posted this to comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibm and didn't get any responses.
Maybe I'll have better luck in alt.winsock.

I'm having a strange problem with a SLIP connection, and I'm hoping
someone out there can help.

I'm using the Alpha #18 of the Trumpet Winsock.  (Is there a newer
version?  Where?)  I'm running it on a Compaq 486-33 with plenty of
memory and 14.4 modem.

I dial into a Lantronix ETS-8 terminal server at a community college.  I
get a 9600 connection with all the compression and error correction turned
on, so the speed is effectively more.

I'm having a problem with the domain name server.  When I telnet to a
specific IP address, it works (not perfectly, but well enough).  Whenever
the winsock makes a DNS call, it fails.  I've turned on the IP trace, and
see my machine sending out the info request.  What comes back is "IP
header checksum error".  And no packet.

I've tried pointing winsock to another DNS.  It fails.  I've tried a
friend's SLIP account on CerfNet, and it works perfectly.  I've even
pointed Winsock to use my local DNS while connected to CerfNet's slip and
it works fine.

I tried it today with VersaTerm on a friend's Mac and ran into similar
problems with the DNS.

I've talked to tech support at Lantronix, but all they could suggest was
to upgrade the ETS-8 software, which I think the sysop is planning to do.

Has anyone else had this problem?  Any solutions?

Does there exist a WWW-client (mosaic) that supports Winsock?
Please don't flame me if this is a FAQ.
