I'm confused!  I have access to a slip connection (i'm on it
now), with all of the latest winsock compatible programs, and
locally, I am on a Windows for Workgroups network (3.11).

My goal is to provide access to users of the network, to the
slip connection, through one modem, and then allow multiple
users to telnet and ftp to various sites, from WFW 3.11.  I'd
like to be able to use MS Mail, as a source for writing messages
and then have a gateway of sorts to send it outbound to the
net, if that's even possible!?!?

I've downloaded the Microsoft TCP/IP drivers, but they are
huge!  Conventional memory is down to 464K when fully loaded!

Can anybody shed some light on all of this, and point me
in the right direction to get this going?  I've heard of PC-TCP.
Is it Shareware, or commercial?  Is it better than going
through Lan Manager TCP/IP?

I'm using WS_FTP (94.02.07), and it works Fantastic! Cudos to
Mr. Junod fo that and WS_Mail, and WS_Ping!  What a wonderful
contribution to the PD!

Sorry for the dumb questions!  Please help! <g>

Cheers!
 Eric


p.s. does anybody know the correct FTP site for the Winsock
VBX?  I missed the posts on where it had been moved to.  :(

Subject: WinTalk Alternatives?


Does anyone know of Talk or Chat programs which are Windows based and
work with the Trumpet Winsock?

I have tried WinTalk and but I can not get it to work.

I get the following error message when I click on the smiley face WinTalk
icon.

          gethostname()error
          couldn't get my hostname
                    OK

Of course this is "Not Ok" :-)

It also crashes the Tcpman program.

FTP, Telnet, Eudora, Mosaic and other programs work fine.

My IP address is registered in the Sun
DNS and the Sun DNS ip address is in the Trumpwsk.ini file.

Note, I am using WFWG V3.11 and Trumpet V1.0 Alpha over SLIP.

Subject: RE: PCEudora Manual ?

Was it here I saw [e-mail] (John P. Morphet) ask on 4 Feb about the
Eudora manual...?

>Has anyone gone to the trouble of converting the MAC version of the PC Eudora
>manual (ver 1.4) into something a PC can read.

etc....to which I have seen no answer...so:

The manual that I have is a Pagemaker document rather than Word. Extracted,
it's 127 pages, something like 1.7MB. I don't have PM for dos, but I *could*
put it on my machine for you to ftp, if you could find someone who did have
the dos version of PM to try to convert it. Drop me an email note if you
haven't found another solution and want to work something out.
