- While I do not use Trumpet, I have tested Oracle SQL*Net v1.1.7.7B
- over several other WinSock v1.1 implementations. I think that Oracle
- only lists as "supported" WinSock implementations, those they have
- actually tested with...safe policy for all concerned.

- In the WinSock environments that I have used Oracle SQL*Net, it works
- like a champ...MAJOR savings in terms of installation hassle, start-up
- hassle, and run-time overhead. Many fewer "moving parts" and I really
- like that.
-
- I believe that Oracle bases at least part of the comm core of SQL*Net
- on JSB's VSL code...seems to provide a high-performance, robust, and
- flexible base.
-
- BTW, we're also implementing our client/server network management
- applications using ODBC, in addition to WinSock and WinSNMP, and
- I must say that I am greatly impressed with how well Oracle is
- playing in this wide open arena. I hope they continue this particular
- line of development on the desktop products.

-
- I'd say they're right...maybe nobody's wrong. :-)

- I am confident that you will be very pleased. If not, I'd sure
- like to hear why, so please let [us|me] know.
