- As Trumpet is a WINSOCK implementation then any of the generic WINSOCK solutions
- will do. Such as PCNFS. The things to check after the installation are that
- ORACLE.INI points to the correct services and hosts file and that TCP_VENDOR is
- set to winsock and this will then sort you out. Assuming that the version of
- SQLNET supports WINSOCK :-)

- : Think long and hard about Freenets. Most practice censorship. Certain topics

- : Nor can you use IRC from most of them. You want an account that gives PPP or

- : Avoid Netcom, too. They have even begun to revoke network access for users who

- I agree with most of the above except I have no personal experience
- with Netcom so can't comment. CRL is fine for a shell account but
- when I also wanted SLIP I went to a different provider. THe first
- offfered SLIP for $20 minimum/month for 20 hours $1/hr over that.
- SOunded good till I got there and found they were based on i86 boxes
- and very slow. So I now use a host who has $30/month minimum 30
- hours $1/hr over that with Sun boxes and 28.8 (Hayes) modems (which
- alas I don't have yet).

- Correction: For those international users, BWCCENG.DLL is the one the program
- looks for... It is identical to BWCC.DLL which is supplied in the zip file...
-
- To solve the problem, rename BWCC.DLL to BWCCENG.DLL.
