Help Documents: Configuring Windows 3.x

General Setup

  • Double Click on the Trumpet Winsock Icon.

  • Once Winsock is running, Click on the File Menu item and then the Setup option.

  • Your screen should look similar to that shown above.
  • Place the 'X' in the "Internal PPP" choice.
  • Make sure that the Slip Port matches the Comm port you have a modem installed on.
  • Ensure that the Baud Rate is one your modem can communicate with.
  • Click on "OK" and the bottom, a warning screen will appear:

  • You can ignore that warning for now, we have a few more items to check out, but remember to restart Trumpet before you attempt to dial again.

  • Click on File and then PPP Options.

  • Put a check in the "Use Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)" check box.
  • Place your username followed by %ppp in the Username box
  • Enter your password in the Password box.
  • Click on "Ok".

  • Next we need to edit the dialer script, click on Dialer and then Edit Scripts:

  • Double-click on login.cmd in the lower left corner.
  • Make your script look like the following:

    #trace on
    #
    # set up some strings for dialling
    
    $number = "380-4731"
    $modemsetup = "z"
    
    %attempts = 10
    
    # initialize modem
    
    output "at"$modemsetup\13
    input 10 OK\n
    
    # send phone number
    
    %n = 0
    repeat
      if %n = %attempts
        display "Too many dial attempts"\n
        abort
      end
      output "atdt"$number\13
      %ok = [input 45 CONNECT]
      %n = %n + 1
    until %ok
    input 10 \n
    
    #  wait till it's safe to send because some modem's hang up
    #  if you transmit during the connection phase
    
    wait 30 dcd
    
    # we are now logged in and we jump into ppp mode
    
    display "PPP mode selected.  Will try to negotiate IP address."\n
    end
    
    # finished.
    
  • Click on File and then Exit and acknowledge that you would like to save your changes when prompted.

  • Back at the main Trumpet screen, Click on File and then Exit to close the program.

  • You're finished configuring Trumpet Winsock.

Connecting and Disconnecting

  • Double Click on the Trumpet Winsock Icon.
