I'd guess that the dll is dependent on some uprated aspect of FTP's
stack.  I'm running a number of winsock apps with the 2.31 version
of the stack, and a slightly later version of the dll.  Probably the
one you got, compilation date 7 January?.  My winsock clients
still crash and burn sometimes; but not nearly so often.

Subject: External dialler for Trumpet winsock

 I want to use Trumpet winsock to dial into my account.  However, my school only allows connections with the setting 7,e,1.  The instructions for Trumpet say that it can't do that yet but it does allow an external program to do the dialing.This is the part which I don't know how to do.  If anybody can give instructionson how to do this, I would be GREATLY appreciative.  Thanks!

Subject: SLIP >SERVER< for Windows (WFWG of NT ok!)



    Hi there!

    We need to allow users of Winsock to access a windows based machine..

    Is there a SLIP server for WFWG or WINNT that will let us do that?

I would like to announce a new version of my LPR based printer spooler
for Microsoft Windows. It has been restructered and got a few new
features. The announcement text follows.

Please note that I'm out of town until March 27. So if you mail me
during this time my answer might be a bit delayed.

========================================================================

          WLPRSPL 4.0, a Windows Sockets based print spooler for
    transparent printing to LPD print servers from Windows Applications

WLPRSPL 4.0 allows you to print transparently from any Windows application
to network printers. All that is needed is a Protocol DLL that implements an
API
for sending print jobs to such a remote printer. Included is WLPR2.DLL which
implements the LPD protocol (RFC1179) and allows printing to LPD print servers
(typically some UNIX hosts).

Requirements:

o    Microsoft Windows 3.1
o    A Protocol DLL like the included WLPR2.DLL.
o    Networking software that offers a Windows Sockets 1.1 DLL if the included
     WLPR2.DLL is used as Protocol DLL (that's the normal case for printing
     to LPR/LPD (RFC 1179) based printers).

Changes since release 4.0:

o    Now uses the Protocol DLL WLPR2.DLL which allows the use of several
     different Protocol DLLs for different remote printers side by side.
     WLPR2.DLL is a re-write of the old WLPR.DLL and is not compatible with
     the latter.
o    The program now has a so-called unattended mode which causes the program
     to automatically retry failed print job transfers after a user-definable
     amount of time.
o    Uses CTL3D.DLL from Microsoft to give dialogs a 3D look.

Availability:

The ZIP archive containing the packages is WLPRS40.ZIP.
The software was uploaded to the following Anonymous FTP sites:

o    sunsite.unc.edu in /uploads
     Final destination directory: /pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsock/apps

o    ftp.cica.indiana.edu in /pub/pc/win3/uploads
     Final destination directory: /pub/pc/win3/util or /pub/pc/win3/winsock

The ZIP file contains the program and necessary DLLs as well as
documentation in form of an MS Word for Windows 2.0 file and a
plain ASCII file. For installation and operating instructions please
refer to this documentation. A PostScript version can be sent by E-mail
on demand.

The program is Shareware.

Subject: WFWG 3.11 and winsock ?

Hi,
I would like to know if Windows for Workgroup add any functionnality
someone just wants to work with winsock applications. Basically
I have a TCP/IP network (Unix workstations) with a few PCs on it
too. Currently the PCs are used for E-mail mainly (Eudora), a bit
of file transfer (FTP). The only thing I would be looking extra
is to do backups of the PCs on the workstations.

Subject: trumptel does not recognize ~!@#$%^&*()_+

Hi, the subject line is _not_ a mistake. :-)  I just downloaded trumptel.zip and tried to run it.  However, I found that when logging in and typing in passwords, it does not accept any of the characters ~!@#$%^&*()_+  Instead, it seems only to allow letters and numbers for passwords, providing quite a problem.  Is there a way around this?  I know it has nothing to do with my setup, because I did manage to trumptel to my library, which requires simply a number, and that worked fine.  I'm running trumpet winsock 1.0A (or whatever the newest version is).  I have a 486DX33, but that doesn't really matter.

                            Ryan.
