Try putting "-maildir=C:\directory_name" (minus the quotes) as a command line
option for Trumpet.

Is WSgopher free to universities or is this a shareware?  Thanks

Subject: HELP: Posting with WINVN

Is anyone else having problems responding to a previous post?  When I
pick FOLLOWUP ARTICLE under RESPOND and actually write a response
I usually get an error message saying that I can't post my response
because my response is smaller than the original message.  If I add a whole
bunch of empty lines to my message to match the length of the original
message....everything works fine.  Is there a solution to this?  Can I post
a smaller response than the original message without adding all these extra
lines?!!

He is looking for a telnetD, not a telnet client.  There are a
couple commercial clients that run under Windows -- I don't know
if they are Winsock compliant, and I seem to have misplaced the
information, but I picked it off of comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc
a few months ago.

There is also the freeware WATTCP based telnetD, and also a
"remote-PC" client that was written Peter Tattam several months
ago, but never released, since other projects took precedence.
Both telnetD and remote-PC work rather well and are DOS applications.

Later,
Ashok

There will be an autoexec.bat and config.sys files (for backward compatiblity),
but Chicago is also going to have built in TCP/IP, so you might not need the
winpkt or whatever anymore. Just another reason to go with the MS TCP/IP
solution over others since this is what will evolve to the final product,
probably.
