Edit your text using NOTEPAD or any other TEXT editor and then
paste the edited text into WinTrumpet.  WinTrumpet 1.0B will let
you include a file (text or binary) into a post.  Hopefully it will
be officially released sometime soon.

If you are referring to the Trumpet WinSock, it currently only
supports Class 1 (ethernet, bluebook) and Class 6 (SLIP) packet
drivers.  There is a PPP packet driver called ETHERPPP, which
can be found on merit.edu, which fakes an ethernet class packet
driver over a PPP driver.  I have heard of several people use
the Trumpet WinSock over ETHERPPP.  Perhaps you could try that.

Subject: how to start

 Hi,

 I want to know how to install the winsocket, but the FAQ offer
 me nothing except some FTP site.

 I have a novell lite network, how I can install the winsocket?
 Do I need install BOOTP? I am really confused. Please explain
 the whole idea to me. And what kind of software package do I
 need?
 Please email me at [e-mail] .
 Much thanks in advance.

Hi Johan,

I have the same set up as yourself for the last 36 hours or so. So far
everything behaves OK. My login script is as follows:

output atz\13
input 10 OK\13
output atdt0813434848\13
input 30 ogin:
output genesys\13
input 30 assword:
output ******\13
input 30 otocol:
output slip\13
input 10 HELLO

The important thing is the SLIP command.

I assume you have read the demon Winsock beginners guide document for
setting up DICS etc. I don't use the Trumpet utilities but WS_FTP,
DICS, Newswin, Mosaic, Cello, WSarchie and WSgopher all found on
Demon's FTP. I know that Newswin, DICS and WS_FTP (superb!!!) function
OK , the others I have yet to try. I have also just started using DCB
as a front end to the above. A few niggles in that DICS won't startup
automatically but seems sound. DCB is a bit odd in that it does the login
with it's own script and the TCPMAN login script isn't used. No problem
providing you tell TCPMAN not to autologin when started! Also when DCB
runs no TCPMAN icon appears. Worrying at first!

If you still can't get it running join the demon.ip.winsock newsgroup
and shout help!

Regards

Duncan
