Help Winsock over SLIP !

I'm trying to set up a WinSock Client and Server over a slip connection,
but its not working.

The Setup:
  - Two 386s connected via serial ports.
  - No dialup , no hardware handshake
  - Both running  - Trumpet Winsock 1.0 Rev A
                  - TCPMAN .exe

  - Client - Mfinger.exe  from { sunsite.unc.edu }
           - COM3  , 2400 BAUD.
           - Trumpet Winsock
             IP address = 198.133.162.148
             Name server= 198.133.162.1 { I don't think there is a name server}
             Time server= 0.0.0.0
             Domain Suffix = left blank
             MTU = 512
             TCP RWIN = 1448
             TCP MSS  = 552
             Packet vector = 00
             Demand Load Timeout = 5
             Internal SLIP = yes
             SLIP Port = 3
             Baud Rate = 2400
             Hardware Handshake = no
             CSLIP = yes
             On line status detection = none

On the other computer.

- Server - txtsrv.exe  from { sunsite.unc.edu }
               - A txt server - claims it will respond to the finger protocol
           - COM2  , 2400 BAUD.
           - Trumpet Winsock
             IP address = 198.133.162.149
             Name server= 198.133.162.1
             Time server= 0.0.0.0
             Domain Suffix = left blank
             MTU = 512
             TCP RWIN = 1448
             TCP MSS  = 552
             Packet vector = 00
             Demand Load Timeout = 5
             Internal SLIP = yes
             SLIP Port = 2
             Baud Rate = 2400
             Hardware Handshake = no
             CSLIP = yes
             On line status detection = none


Proceedure
  - on both computers I fire up tcpman.exe  ( no problems)
  - then I fire up ( txtsrv ) and (mfinger ) on their separate computers.
                                ( no problems )
  - then with mfinger I try to finger the server.
      - In mfinger's HOST dialog box I enter:
          " 198.133.162.149 "  ( the servers IP )

   - mfinger responds: " cannot locate port for finger "

I have been monitoring the serial line and there doesnot seem the be any
activity.  So my quess is that winsock is not talking to the serial port.
shouldn't it at least send some characters over the serial port to the server.


What am I doing wrong?

Please help.
Thanks

Subject: Winsock Tar?

I'm still looking for a Winsock based TAR.  I've heard of
GNU Tar - is this PC/Winsock based?  Where can it be found?

Thanks,

I agree.

I am running the free version that comes on the disk in the back of the
"Internet Tour Guide for Windows" and it has been 100% rock solid now for
about two weeks.  I use WinQVT and Mosaic daily.  NOT ONE hang, lockup,
GPF, or other misbehavior has been seen here.

I'm beating the hell out of it with a 28.8 V.FC modem too, clocked at 57.6.
Smokin' fast and dead-nuts on reliable.  I regularly leave links up for
DAYS at a time without a single complaint..

I've noticed the same behavior. I'm running PC-NFS, if it makes any difference.

Subject: in refernece to ws_gmail etc, whats the difference ...

All in all in short, What the difference between a listner and a client?
for example a smtp listener and client?
What exacly is a pop server? *how long do smtp servers try to send
to a listener before it gives up? *
I guess these are basic questions, but ignorance abounds.

I'm running WS_FTP version 94.01.22 with LAN Workplace with no problems.
Maybe you're using old versions of the software?
