Winsock will do the bootp itself - just put ip=bootp in winsock's ini file.
The QVTNet documentation is non-obvious on the ip stuff - if you are running
it over winsock you should leave the ip,gateway,router (all the TCP/IP stuff)
lines in qvtnet.ini _BLANK_ - qvt talks directly to the winsock so doesn't
need to know any ip information. In my experience that actually _STOPS_ a lot
of spurious error messages from QVT.

Subject: Trumpet LOGIN.CMD

Hello all,

With the Trumpet "LOGIN.CMD" file, I can connect to my SLIP server however
when I request SLIP, the server responds with my IP number, but from that
point on, I can no longer type anything.  I would want to type ADDRESS so that
the IP number would get passed to TRUMPET but nothing I type appears on
screen.

What should I check, is this likely a Modem problem? a wrong Modem
Initialization string? or some obscure trumpet setup option.

-Thanks, [e-mail]

You should edit your login.cmd script to give the address command, and then
display the address.  Here is the tail-end of my login.cmd:

***BEGIN***

output dslip\13

#
# Wait for the address string.
#
input 30 Your ip address is
#
# Parse the IP address.
#
address 30

#
# We are now connected, logged in and in SL/IP mode.
#
display \n
display Connected.  Your IP address is \i.\n

#
# Now we are finished logging in.
#


***END***

After that, just call up your other winsock apps.

I am using dynamic addressing with the sampler version.
1.1.1.1 in the ip address field works fine as a dummy.

Remember the -i in the slip.ini as the last field and turn on ip
address negotiation at the remote end-  "ipaddr" in ppphosts.

Subject: WFW TCP/IP and IPX/SPX Routing?

We have recently installed version 2 of the WFW TCP/IP Daytona
beta software.  While running with IPX/SPX protocols it seems
that WFW workgroups cannot communicate across routers.  Is the
Microsoft implementation of drive sharing not routable under
the IPX/SPX protocol suite?  Any ideas on how to see the
WFW drives across routers?

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I got the impression that while we
(most of the U.S.) are on daylight savings time, we are only 5 hours west of
Universal Time, so the syntax would be -0500.  After the last Saturday in
October, you would then change it back to -0600 assuming of course that you
are in the Central Time Zone like I am.
