I have been running Dynacomm Asynch for the last several months on WINSOCK.
Originally a Beta release, but I believe (as per Dynacomm) that
WINSOCK support (WINSOCK connector) is part of the general release of
the asynch product.

Jeez dude, RTFM. FYI, there are two ways:

   a) Invoke xterm with -sb flag
   b) Put cursor on xterm and press control key and the middle mouse
      button at the same time. This will cause a pop-up menu to
      appear with VT options, including scroll bar option. control
      followed by the other two mouse buttons makes other pop-ups
      appear for changing fonts etc.. Note an xterm can also act
      as 4014 textronix terminal.

BTW, I also hope you realise this has nothing to do with Xwindemo
as such.

Subject: Re: I'm ready to spend money - free and shareware WINSOCK not ok

   >Is the Chameleon WinSock any faster?  Or is it just a matter of
stability?

IMHO, Chameleon Winsock is MUCH faster than Trumpet Winsock.  Probably by at
least  1.5 times.  Everything is much snappier, and news comes down a lot
faster (I am using a 14.4KB/s Modem).  I go back and forth between Trumpet
Winsock and Chameleon, and always come back to Chameleon.

Chameleon also comes with the basic Internet tools: Gopher, FTP (client and
server), Telnet, TN3270, TN5250, a POP mail client (equivalent to Eudora 2.0),
Finger, Whois, Ping, a newsreader, a scripting language, an snmp client, and
several other utilities.

With the exception of the newsreader, the rest of the package is fairly clean.
 The newsreader is BUGGY, and seems to have an interface similar to WinVn.  I
am working with Netmanage on this, and trying to help them clean it up.

I didn't spend $400 for the package.  I attended the CommNet 94 show in
Washington D.C., and they were selling the Chameleon 4.0 package for $99.  I
figured I couldn't go wrong for that price.

I purchased a new computer with Windows for Workgroups 3.11, and neither
Chameleon nor Trumpet Winsock would run reliably.  I went back to Windows 3.1
and things are working ok now.  When I get the WFW resource kit I ordered, I
will try again armed with more info.

Hope this helps.

Rgds,
Steve Jacobson

Subject: XWin Problem ?

I'm running xwindemo and am connected via ethernet to my university.
Everything seems to work well, except that after being connected for a
while, sometimes it won't let me open new windows.  I'll try to run a
program in it's own window and I'll get an error message something
like "cannot open <my_ip#>:0.0", where the same command might have
worked just a little while before.  All the windows that are already
open seem uneffected, but the only way to open a new window is to quit
Xwin and start up again.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Chameleon is a commercial tcp/ip package for Windows from
Netmanage in the USA. Have just bought it at the Windows Show
at Olympia for the special show price of 99 pounds.

Works well and cello etc run with it.

I upgraded to WfWG 3.11 and have had no problems re winsock etc.
I'm using WfWG on a standalone machine. What happens and what
does not happen with you??!!

 If your X client is SUN, try cmdtool instead of xterm.
