Can't help you there..

Have you tried WinVn 0.90.5? It is much better than 0.80.. I used
Trumpet previously but decided against the fee, and switched to
WinVn. I am satisfied with it, but it is different from Trumpet.

Subject: InterOp '94 at Las Vegas


If you are going to be at Interop / Networld '94 at Las Vegas this coming
May 2 to 6th, please send me email.  I would like to organize a meeting
of the Winsock Users and Developers...  If anyone has suggestions as to
where we could meet  please speak up. (how about at the Netmanage Booth
 so we can tell them in person how shoddy their customer service is).

As Internet grows and grows and grows....  We will run out of class 3
addresses.  I.e: A service provider only has 255 ip adresses available.  I.e:
Maximum of 255 SLIP/PPP accounts (Get'em quick while supplies last!)

Using that protocol means that you would be using the hosts' TCP address.  The
bad thing is that you won't be able to run any STANDARD Internet service from
your machine.

Also, if you want to provide some Service from YOUR machine, you'll have to
make that port number > 10000 AND make sure nobody else already has a service
running on that port.  (You'd get a Port Busy error)

That approach has many limitations BUT it's the way we'll evenually HAVE to
adopt.

Therefore, YES, I am interested in a "Socket Call Pipe via Serial Line"

Let's call it WindPipe.

    I'm having trouble keeping WinTrump's news files on my C: drive and NOT on
Netware. I know there is a switch at invocation to do this, something like
-ignore_nw. Could someone please tell me the correct switch name? Thanks.

I am using Trumpet Winsock on a Banyan system quite successfully.  There are
some hassles in setting it up (kernel stuff) but once you get by that it is
smooth sailing.  Email me with specific questions.

To get the Beta 2 version you may have to go under the PRERELEASE directory at
that site.
