In the documentation that comes with the VxD beta it says that it will expire
sometime in June.  However,  all that means is that when you start Windows it
will give you a message to remind you to upgrade to the next version.  It will
still perform like usual!

      I've had some problems using 3.1b.  After I configure it and connect,
the window goes behind all the other windows and I can't see my TN3270
session.  It doesn't seem to want to come out of the background.
The last release of qws3270 I had didn't exhibit this behavior.  I only
had a problem switching from Mod 5 to Mod 2.

FTP to the site ftp.cica.indiana.edu and look in /pub/pc/win3/winsock for the
file VBWSK03A.ZIP. Haven't tried it myself, though.

Not true. Winsock was defined by a group of individuals from various companies
usually with those companies 'blessing'. The spec is derived from copyrighted
material from Berkeley, Various vendors have contributed tools. I believe the
spec is PD. Microdyne.com is the authoritive source for info.

Subject: A persistent slip dialer.

Hi,

The persistent slip dialer I mentioned in a previous post is called GoSlip!,
written by Rob Reuss.  Version 1.1 of this program can be found in the CICA
uploads directory for a little while and then in the Winsock directory.
