So I got Trumpet Winsock running over SLIP, but what the heck should i set
MTU, TCP RWIN, and TCP MSS to?  Surely there's a better method than trial
and error, right?  I mean, that's a lot of possible combinations...  :-)

I'd just like to get my SLIP connection tuned up nicely.  If anyone has
suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing them.  Thanks!

Subject: Trumpet Winsock without Ndis..  how?


I'd like to use Trumpet Winsock with straight Windows 3.1.  Right
now I'm using it with Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and it works great!
I'm using the dis_pkt.dos driver to convert ndis to pkt so that winpkt
will see it.

But if don't have ndis, such as when I'm running vanilla Windows 3.1,
what pkt driver to I use?  What will it talk to?  I can't imagine
it talking directly to the hardware.  Is there a version which will
talk to, say, ODI?

What about talking to the pkd drivers that come with FTP?

Subject: NetManage and slip server.  HELP!


Well, NetManage tech support is of no help on this one.  This is what I want
to do :

I have computer A that has a slip client (trumpet or netmanage.. doesn't
matter what).
I have computer B that has Netmanage 3 on it.  It has the slip interface and
the ethernet interface.

Computer B's ethernet interface has the IP 200.211.124.131.  Its netmask is
automatically set to 255.255.255.128.  There is a whole network of computers
on this subnet and they call ping to each other, ping to computer B and
computer B can ping to everyone else!.

Computer B's slip interface has the IP 201.211.124.131.  Its netmask is
automatically set to 255.255.255.128. The modem type is set to None and it
is hooked up to computer A via a null modem.

Computer B's slip interface has the IP 201.211.124.132.  Its netmask is
automatically set to 255.255.255.128.  It's gateway is set to
201.211.124.131, which is Computer B's slip interface.

When I hit connect on computer B's slip, it connects to computer A without a
problem (even though B's the server, this is the way to do it because
there's no way to set up direct connect answer.. just modem answer with this
package).

Once A and B are linked, I can ping A from B by typing pinging to
201.211.124.131 and I can ping from computer A to computer B.  Using
the IP addresses, I can ping back and forth without a problem.

Now.  I want to go to computer A, and ping to other node on computer B's
network.  First I'd like to ping to computer B's ethernet address from
computer A, for starters.  Then I'd like to, say, ping 200.211.124.225
from computer A.

What am I doing wrong?  How do routers fit it?

As I said, NetManage tech support really has no idea how to do this with
their own software.  I mean, they're nice people and try to help.  But they
just don't have a clue on how to do it.  Has anyone around here tried this
and gotten it to work?  If so...  maybe you can help me out..

Thanks much

Let me guess...  you have an S3 video adapter?  I have exactly the same problem
with my Orchid - they're aware of the problem, and working on it, but
apparently it's not solved yet.  Microsoft has some S3 Drivers on their ftp
site - you might want to try them (I haven't yet, so no endorsement...)

Well, I'd like to say the same.  Ol' 2.0a2 worked just great, especially after
I ditched that godawful 3c505 for a real, live 3c509, and switched over to
the Novell ODI packet driver system for my HP 486.  Nice and stable.  Could work
for hours, as long as I didn't let it get lonesome.  But leave it for 15 mins and
I'd come back to a dark screen with blinking cursor, victim of a failed reboot.
And me without a reset button...  Nonetheless, a vast improvement over earlier
versions; far fewer GPFs.

And then I went and installed the Win32s code.  Everything still hunkydory,
mpegplay working just fine.  So, I took a deep breath and installed 2.0a3...
Started up just fine.  Folks are right, it really screams when loading inline
GIFs.  Then, after skimming thru a coupla HTMLs, I selected a newsgroup (this
one, as a matter of fact) off a pulldown menu.  Bye-bye.  "Unhandled exception..."

And it still reboots my machine if I leave it alone for too long.  But at least
I can print now!

The Docs say that from the 15th June the stack will display a message that
tells you to update your beta stack, but it will still work after you klicked
the message away.
