I think the Sniffing is a leftover from the Netscape /IE War . Thats
about the only way they could come up with Accurate Numbers ... Counting
the downloads of either Netscape or IE would not be that accurates as to
USER who actually use what they Download.
The Good old days was when we Used Winsocks and Trumpet .
Yeh, the good old days. When my PC running DOS 2.x connected to a SUN
server (Unix). Had to use unix commands.
And after a while upgraded to DOS 6.2 and ran ProComm/ProComm Plus.
What a world of difference.
Viruses ran rapidly from PC to PC after one floppy after another got
contaminated.
Yep - the good old days. (:<
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? I seem to remember a fully
self-contained Internet suite that ran from a single bootable floppy...
I remember TELIX
