    What you are describing is basically the function provided by
any POP mailer. In particular, Eudora is my favourite mailer. It is
available in both PC (winsock) and MAC incarnations, and in freeware and
commercial versions. Current PC free version is 1.4. Available from the
authors at Qualcomm (ftp.qualcomm.com). In my opinion, one of the best
POP mailers around. We've converted most of our instutution to it.

Subject: PC Eudora and Trumpet

If anyone is using Trumpet Winsock (internal SLIP) and Eudora (any version),
and has solved the following problem, I would REALLY appreciate knowing how
you did it...

I have Eudora set to check my mail every 30 minutes.  When it does so, Trumpet
fires up and the login script dials and connects and Eudora checks the mail
fine.  Great, but....

Afterwards, Trumpet doesn't hang up the line as long as Eudora is running.  I
have changed the SLIP inactivity timeout to all sorts of values, but it
doesn't make any difference.  As long as Eudora is running, the modem stays
off-hook.  Once I close Eudora, Trumpet waits for 60 seconds (the time
specified in Demand-Load-Timeout) and hangs up.  But I would like to leave
Eudora running to check my mail occasionally.

Turning on Trumpet's various trace modes shows that Eudora is not making any
winsock calls during this timeout, it is just sitting there, somehow keeping
Trumpet from hanging up.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Mike Raymer

how about:

getHostByAddr(127.0.0.1)

Hi,
  I was wondering if someone could mail me the
FAQ (if you have one).  If you don't have one,
could you give a breif explaination of what
winsock is and how it works?

Thanks,
