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.
  

• Once Winsock is running, Click on the Dialer Menu item and then the Login option.
  

• Once you've established a successful connection, you can minimize Trumpet to the background and fire up whatever Internet application you wish to use.
