Hi!

I have recently been introduced to the www via Mosaic and have been
suitably impressed. However getting Trumpet winsock to work on my 486
4Mb system has not been very successful.

I am using a 9600 slip connection (via a university serial network -
how do you send a break in the auto-logon on script, the network needs
this to 'wake up') and it sort of works. I get a very slow conection
in which ping works - occasionally. The whole system seems very
unstable. FTP has a tendancy to stop and die mid file and worst of all
the DNS does not work (hence no mosaic SOB SOB). I have a working name
server address (129.67.1.1) but trumpet does not like it.

Can anyone suggest settings for the setup dialog (that is if the
documented settings are unsatisfactory for this configuration).

Oh last thing I am connecting to the Morningstar PPP/Slip server
running on a DEC UN*X machine.

Any help would be much apprectiated and sorry if I missed the FAQ.

Cheers Emm

Subject: Location of Trumpet Winsock .ini files?


Hello!

I am curious about the necessary locations of the
two .ini files that Trumpet Winsock needs, these
files are: trmpwsk.ini and winsock.ini.

My questions are:

Does trmpwsk.ini have to be located in the directory
where tcpman.exe and the other files are, i.e. c:\trumpet ?

Does winsock.ini have to be located in c:\windows ?

The reason I ask is it would be nice if we could put the
trumpet files up on a Novell shared server and have a
standard load menu system for windows users across campus.
The menu would include pointers to the winsock programs
all located on say, an e: drive.  We would like to avoid
the redundancy of copying the trumpet files and polluting
the c:\windows directory.

We have all of the users IP information etc necessary to
run trumpet winsock set up in environment variables at
boot time.  Trumpet winsock seems to read these just fine,
but it always creates that trmpwsk.ini file in the based
on the information in whatever directory you run tcpman
from.

If this is not possible, might it be in the near future?
It seems like it would be nice if you could set tcpman
to read an ini file OR environment variables only.

The ability to do this is what will determine whether or
not we register it for this campus.

I would appreciate any ideas/comments or questions for
clarification.

Thanks!

Peace,
-Rich

Does this mean that I can't use wintalk with the Novell LWP winsock?

If you mean Trumpet Winsock, yes.  Peter has told me on several occasions that
his Winsock will eventually support PPP.  It may be many months away
though...off in the distance like Chicago.

Subject: Does Trumpet winsock.dll support gethostname()?

Hello,

I would like to know if Trumpet winsock.dll supports the gethostname()
function. It seems like all applications which calls this function can not be
run with Trumpet winsock.dll. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

Peter
