Using Trumpet Winsock
Jerry Kenney
I've been doing a lot of bitching and apologizing lately regarding
alternative ways to access Interramp besides Chameleon. Rob Ryan came to me
rescue with suggestions on how to use Trumpet, and I have been successful. A
combination of his suggestions and my own further exploration are reflected
in the suggested settings that follow.
In article <3papus$a...@usenet.interramp.com>, rr...@interramp.com also invites
us to visit http://www.panix.com/~rryan/trumpet.html for a little
documentation on configuring Trumpet winsock for Interramp.
My comparisons of the two are these:
I think I get on the Interramp faster with Trumpet although the difference is
a matter of a few seconds. Most applications seem to work comparably; FTP
transfers seem faster with Trumpet, although the limiting factor there is
usually the connection with the FTP site. Decoding concatenated binaries is
somewhatr slower with Trumpet with a decided delay between sections.
That's all I know at this time. Here's the recipe:
First, address the SETUP under the FILE pull down menu.
IP address: 0.0.0.0
Netmask: 38.1.1.1
Default gateway 0.0.0.0
Name server: 38.8.17.2 38.146.21.2
Time server: (blank)
Packet vector 00
MTU: 1064 (this should be TCP MSS plus 40)
TCP RWN: 4096 (this should be TCP MSS times 4)
TCP MSS: 1024 (this should be a multiple of 512 up to 2096 -- lower
number for faster response; higher number for more efficient
transport, ie, big binaries)
Demand Load Time out (secs) 5
TCP RTO MAX: 60
Internal PPP checked
SLIP Port (your com port number)
Baud Rate: your hardware baud rate setting
Hardware handshake: checked
Van Jacobsen CSLIP Compression: checked
DSR Checked
Set the PPP OPTIONS under the FILE menu to use PAP authentication.
Under the DIALLER menu, invoke 1SETUP CMD and fill in the blanks. (I don't
know if this is needed or not, but better safe than ....)
Under the DIALLER menu, choose EDIT SCRIPS; Edit LOGIN.CMD by deleting
everything after the the line "wait 30 dcd"
Good luck.

In article <3pigrk$l...@usenet.interramp.com>, I compared my experiences with
Trumpet and Chameleon and said that decoding concatenated binaries is
somewhat slower with Trumpet with a decided delay between sections. Wrong!
I use WinVN (and love it - get 99.4), and if you set you WinVN.INI file so
under [Communications] so that GenSockDLL=genasync.dll, you'll get great
speed.
That's the rest of all I know at this time.
