The test is easy!  Just specify first the IP address of a host that
does not offer any DNS service!!

I have a small Windows program for editing, saving and recalling phone
numbers that edits a script and then launches the dialing program.  It is
intended for those who travel a lot and have a bunch of different dialing
schemes for different hotels and such.  It was first written for PC/TCP
but I soon intend to add the ability to edit the login.cmd file used
Trumpet Winsock's internal SLIP.

I'll post here about it.  Write to me in a week if you don't see
something.

I'm using that same version, and on my system Mosaic eats 3% or more resources
each time it's run.  Trouble is, after my system starts up, I only have 60%
free.  So, I typically run Mosaic only once or twice between restarting
Windows.

What can be done to increase free resources when the system starts up?  I've
got about 30 groups, with anywhere from 3 to 40 programs in each group.  I
thought I might free some resources by removing some fonts, so I dumped about
30 fonts and saw no increase in free resources...I still have around 90
installed fonts.  Windows 4.0 will supposedly fix this, and I've heard that NT
already has.  Is 12MB RAM enough to try using NT?

Anybody know if Trumpet Winsock will run under NT...I use it for SLIP.

You just told yourself what's eating up all your resources: PROGMAN groups
and icons are among the worst offenders.  You've obviously got a lot of
programs, but if you can run some from the File Manager instead of clicking
on an icon in the Program Manager you'll save LOTS of resources.

Take a look at Frontier Technologies SuperTCP.  It was by far the
best commercial product that I personally reviewed.  And based
on what was reported in a recent issue of PC-WEEK, Frontier will
soon be releasing a full VxD WinSock implementation.

The existing product is fairly impressive by itself.  For more
information write to [e-mail]

You can find something in comp.protocol.tcpip.ibmpc

I can tell you ODIPKT is a packet driver over any  odi driver so it is'nt
dependant of your card
you must have the odi driver of your card on the floppy bought with your card

to start the network you must load

X-Mailer: Microsoft Mail V3.0



WSATers,

As a few of you have informed me, I put an incorrect version of bindt.tst in
the January distribution.    The bindt.tst was from a new protocol
independent wsat that's been developed and does not run with the current
wsat.

I've put the correct bindt.tst out on rhino.microsoft.com, and corrected the
distribution file also.   If you've got the january distribution, you can
simply go into the wsat\distrib directory and grab bindt.tst.

My apologies for this.  Hope no one spent too many cycles trying to figure
out what the heck this file was all about.

     jim

P.S.  Any more bugs or problems, just send 'em on in.

Subject: Trumpet Winsock SLIP help needed

Apparently I'm one of the few who can't get Trumpet Winsock Internal SLIP
to work.  When I start up TCPMAN all that happens is my modem's TX lcd
flashes a few times and then after about 10 secs I get the message "Unable
to load TCP".  In the setup I've specified internal slip, com port 2, baud
rate 19200 (I've tried other baud rates unsuccessfully) and hardware
handshaking.  I'm using a
Practical Peripherals PM14400FXSA modem.   Winsock version is alpha #18
I've check the DOS PATH and the trumpet directory is there.  Are there
particular modem settings I need?  I've tried a variety of different
combinations already.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and even more appreciated if via
e-mail. Thanks

Check your modem and protocol configs.  I've used Chameleon for a couple
years and, while I agree that NewtNews needs major work (hear that, Warren?)
the basic product is pretty solid.  I email every day with no problem.

Getting through to tech support can be interesting.  It helps to send
frequent Email to them with lots of gooey details.

Yup, it would have been nice if someone could have snagged a few

Basically, though, it's a great product.  If you are running MS/Win,
there isn't anything out there that comes close.
