I was a Telemate user myself, in the old DOS days. Tried a bunch of stuff for Windows, including Procomm Plus... none was as good. Oh, and I don't think IE ever used Trumpet. The Win9x versions didn't need it, of course, since Win95 came with its own TCP/IP stack. But the Win 3.x version came with its own Winsock stack. I have a VirtualPC image somewhere with a fully Internet-functional Windows 3.11, including IE 5... every couple of years I fire it up for laughs. Some day, I have to find an old 16-bit Netscape to include in it too. And... wasn't there some sort of DOS-based web browser, in the really old days? Maybe a version of Lynx?
