What is win31 trumpet. how does one get it. also, how does one get novell lan workplace for dos, suite?This sound promising for me. What is latest version. i can find app notes referring to version 5 on the novell site, but not a copy of the files themselves. does it come on a cd with novell 5 perhaps, or some other way? thanks. rich wilson -----Original Message----- From: root AT hawk DOT mail DOT pas DOT earthlink DOT net [mailto:root AT hawk DOT mail DOT pas DOT earthlink DOT net]On Behalf Of Thomas A Webb Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2001 8:06 AM To: opendos AT delorie DOT com Subject: Re: Fwd: DRDOS & IP (also IE5 for W3.X) Most of our applications run on ethernet backbones through a Linux gateway and have ethernet cards. For NCSA or Arachne on drdos, a packet driver is all that's required as the dos applications supply the ip stack.. (There are a number of ppp-slip dialers that present the standard packet driver face to the world and work just fine.) I am running IE5 Win31 Trumpet over drdos with an ethernet connection to the ouside world, and it smokes.. My experience with MS provided dialers has been bad; I suggest using a dialer like that supplied with Arachne with the winpkt shim. MS has the bad habit of being "Proprietary" and doesn't always play well with the other kids :-) "da Silva, Joe" wrote: > > When you say "Trumpet winsock as the protocol stack", that's the > Trumpet Windoze TCP/IP stack, not the Trumpet DOS TCP/IP stack, > right? > > Also, remember "I am running ie5. using trumpet for the tcp/ip stack, > and it works fine" (2001/03/14) ... ?
