- I am running Trumpet Winsock over a SLIP connection and have noticed this
- interesting behavior if I run a client BEFORE I have run the Winsock and
- established a SLIP connection with my Internet Service Provider.
-
- If I run WS_FTP, HGOPHET, EUDORA or WINWAIS before I run the Winsock,
- all three programs fire up the Winsock fairly nicely. Then when I close the
- client, all three close the Winsock. This is nice because I am billed for
- connect time and it is nice to have the client start and stop the Winsock.
-
- The surprise came when I executed Trumpet News before I ran the Winsock.
- I thought that Trumpet News would be at least as well behaved as the other
- clients with Trumpet Winsock, but this is not so. If I execute Trumpet News
- before I run the Winsock, I get a GPF and the system hangs.
-
- Am I missing something? Is there some simple explanation why Trumpet
- News is not as well behaved with Trumpet Winsock as several other clients?
