Hi,

I can't talk for UMN, but at OSU we are using the Trumpet Winsock and are
reasonably happy with it so far.  I haven't experienced any GPF's at all.  One
thing to remember is that all of Trumpets SLIP services are handled internally
so you don't have to load a SLIP packet driver in your autoexec or load winpkt.

Here is my login.cmd:

output atz\13
input 10 OK\n
output atd Your Number Here \13
input 30 CONNECT
wait 30 dsr
output \13
input 30 Username:
output mbourne\13
input 30 Password:
password Enter your password
output \p\13
input 30 >
output slip\13
input 30 Your IP address is
address 30
input 30 \n
display \n
display Connected.  Your IP address is \i.\n


One thing that I found with Mosaic is that its very important to copy the
mosaic.ini file into your Windows directory, if you change the copy thats in
the directory with Mosaic nothing changes.

Hope this helps,

Subject: Re: FTP software's WSOCKET.dll--what gives?

I'm running FTP's PC/TCP version 2.2 under regular Windows 3.1 and I don't
have a file called wsocket.dll but I do have one called winsock.dll.
Winsock.dll is the winsock and I don't know what wsocket.dll is.
Also, you don't winsock.dll to telnet or ftp.
