Sorry Walter, but your statement about needing /double_buffer to enable
32-bit file access for SCSI is NOT correct. I have 32-bit file access
enabled and am MOST DEFINITELY NOT running /double_buffer. See my earlier
post to comp.os.ms-windows.setup/misc for a way to TEST whether or not you
need the double buffer option.

Subject: Re: WinTrumpet - 408 authorization error???

Are you sure the NNTP server you are reading news from lets you post? Almost
all NNTP servers restrict reading and posting privilages to local users. It
looks like you have read permission but no post permission. Check with the
system administrator.

I need to access the program's controls (login, logoff) quite often,
due to unreliable telco connections, so starting and leaving it minimized
isn't practical.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Subject: Winsock/SMTP/PC/mail question

I have a connection to the Internet from my PC, but no POP (or
any other mail) server on my network. My mainframe host does
not presently support POP mail. Telnet, FTP, all the usual
stuff run fine directly from the desktop... but no mail. :-(
How can I get around this problem? Hardware is 486 33DX,
DOS 6.1, Win 3.1, winsock and tcpman.
Thanks.

The command "nslookup" will give you this information.  Also,
if you have the command "addr," it will convert both names
and IP's

It sounds like that machine doesn't know about nameservers.
Yell at the admin to stick the domain's nameserver in
/etc/resolv.conf.

Here's the source to an addr command our admin whipped up:

/*
 *    ADDR - look up a host address or domain name given the opposite one.
 *        Exit Values:    0 = lookup succeeded, answer on stdout
 *                1 = lookup failed, error on stderr
 *        With multiple lookups, if any one fails we exit with a 1.

Subject: Help  improving winsock performance??

I recently installed the trumpte winsock ver. 1.0a over an internal slip
server at my U. The install doc. said I didn't need to use a packet driver or
wpkt.com. But I'ver heard from a friend that I can improve performance if I
switch to using another packet driver as well as a substitute for wpkt.com. He
recommended cslipper and pkt.mux. He says he has increased ftp download speeds
from 700kbs to 1400 kbs. If anyone could give me their advice regarding this I
would  appreciate it. I'm still very new to all this (1 week) and things like
vector settings and the number of sockets that can be accessed at one time are
a little confusing.

Thanks! !
