Distinct TCP/IP does dial-on-demand, and it seems to work just fine. The only
thing I'd like it to do that it doesn't is hang onto the line after the last
app is closed untill the time-out has expired. I discussed this with them and
it seems that they hadn't thought of this. They were thinking of the time-out
strictly as an idle timer, not as a bridge between apps. This isn't a big
problem, though, as I usually start a session with PC-Eudora, answer any old
mail (at this point, it hasn't dialed-out, since Eudora hasn't tried to access
the net), then do a "check for mail" or "send queued messages". At this point,
Distinct TCP/IP connects, and then I just leave Eudora on the desktop until
I'm done with the session. (i.e. I might go off and read news, FTP, etc. but I
don't close Eudora, or the line would drop.)

  A much better editor that Notepad.  No limit on file size.

Subject: Trumpet wsock recvfrom() ???

Hallo,

Unlike most of you guys, I'm evaluating Trumpet Winsock for
PROGRAMMING. So far, I've ported a few simple examples that
I know to work OK under UNIX to Borland C/large model. After
adding the WSA bits and cleaning up the code (...and they
use UNIX to teach programming....), all worked fine, EXCEPT
recvfrom(), which instantly and reliably causes a GPF.

Has anyone seen this WORK? If so, it may still be some silly
bug on my part. I can post a code sample if required.

        Thanks in advance, seeya.
        Andy

Subject: SMPT/POP

Question:
    Is there an advantage of using a Winsock POP/SMPT server (I am
using WS_GSMAIL) over DOS servers?  Can someone direct me to a good DOS
server?

Thanks.
