- After seeing posts about a $25 WINSOCK for SLIP/PPP I immediately went out
- and got the book (The WINDOWS INTERNET Tour Guide) that comes with this
- software.
-
- For me, the TRUMPET WINSOCK was a 5 minute install, including scripting.
-
- The 'WINDOWS INTERNET TOUR GUIDE' on the other hand was not!!!
-
- Sure, it would have been easier if I could have used one of the default
- configurations of several large service provides (which the person who
- got there WINSOCK up in running in 5 minutes was probably subscribed to),
- but I work for a University and the terminal server is setup a bit different.
- So I had to spend a bit of time going through the README file on script
- commands (I would rate the TRUMPET WINSOCK scripting better than what was
- presented in the REAME file). I have still not gotten the script language
- from the book to recognize the IP address. Whereas with TRUMPET WINSOCK
- it was no problem. I am using the README's command '-i' and watching the
- 'LOG' file but the CHAMELEON WINSOCK that comes with the book doesnt
- seem to pick it up. Now I may be doing something wrong. It just
- seems the TRUMPET WINSOCK handles it better for my environment.
-
- Also the books WINSOCK only gave me modem speeds to 19.2KB in the pull
- down configuration using CSLIP even though I am using CYBERDRIVE and
- have a 16550AF serial card. Once again, I may not have it setup right
- but with TRUMPET WINSOCK it was right there in the configuration window.
-
- As far as installation and support to conect to a terminal server go,
- TRUMPET WINSOCK does it better.
-
- Now there are other issues to consider...
