- Subject: Trupet Winsock problems
-
- I've been trying to get Trumpet Winsock to work right for some time now.
- My symptoms are kinda wierd. I can connect and run programs just fine, but
- when I'm getting files or in general recieving any info, nothing happens
- unless I jiggle the mouse continuously. My first thought war IRQ
- conflicts, but my mouse is on COM 1 and my modem is installed as COM 4.
- For reference, I am using a ZEOS 486DX266 with a Viva ZOOM Fax/Modem.
- Thanks in advance for any suggestions. If you need more info, please feel
- free to email.

- Subject: I'm ready to spend money - free and shareware WINSOCK not ok
-
- Ok, I've done everything I can do.
-
- Trumpet Winsock is not ok here. For whatever reason, it appears to be
- dropping incoming interrupts or something similar. The problem I
- consistantly see is fairly long pauses, some of several seconds. These
- are <not> the normal "jerkyness" of a SLIP or PPP session. These are
- problems.
-
- Therefore, I'm in the market for a Winsock implementation which has:
-
- 1) Internal PPP (preferred) or SLIP
- 2) Dialer support w/scripting of some kind. Bonus opints if it stores
- the file in a place and fashion that it can be easily created by
- a program I write.
- 3) Auto-dial / auto-hangup would be nice (ie: go inactive for long
- enough and it disconnects; calls, logs in and goes when there is
- traffic waiting.
- 4) Bonus points - can take calls, take a user/password, and establish
- a connection (from the caller) and apply rule #3 for hangups.
-
- 5) REASONABLE costs. Commercialware is ok here, I am willing to pay
- money and urge customers to pay money too. There are lots of
- customers and I'm not the only one who wants this. This adds
- up to large amounts of money available to the company that
- ends up selling these (ie: lots of reason to do so). However,
- the market is NOT there for $400 packages. This has to either be
- reasonably priced or have the Cat's Meow packaged with it, and
- in many cases the "add-ons" are irrelevant to the users.
-
- 6) Performance. No crashes, no screwball pauses, no problems.
- And if there are, you will fix them pronto. Or no dice.
-
- If anyone has recommendations, or wants to send me something to try here
- and evaluate, please let me know. My metric is a MAC Powerbook w/MacPPP;
- if you are at least that good (and there are problems with the Powerbook
- implementation) then you probably get a recommendation and some sales.
-
- Someone has to have a reasonably-priced WINSOCK with SLIP and PPP that
- works. Where are you!
-
- Yes, this is a request for vendors to solicit me. :-)
