I've not used Trumpet Winsock for over a year but I do remember the documentation
to be confusing, and there to be plenty of options with little immediately useful
explanation. Nowadays the ISPs realize that anything more than the phone number
is too tough for the average user to cope with!
I couldn't connect with Trumpet "straight out of the box" because my ISP was expecting
a password prompt of "ssword" (so I think the default must be "assword").

-- That tells me that if you delved some more, Trumpet might get completely screwed up.
I don't know if the M$ ULA states that the dialer component may only be used with M$
software. IE3 is worth keeping for testing pages and can cope with *some* Java that
more recent Opera baulks at -- so I'm saying M$IE3 is worth having on a Win3.1x
machine.
Plus you get the dialer, which probably works without problems for 95% of users. The
downside (compared to Trumpet) is the bigger download, but the M$ is free. If that
bothers
anyone, they could send Trumpet a donation.
