Is anyone on the list using the Opera browser for connecting to a
ppp Internet provider? If yes, I wonder if you can help me, as I
really don't have many computer smarts.
I'd like to give the 16-bit Opera browser V. 3.60
(www.operasoftware.com) a test drive with Win 3.1 and Trumpet
Winsock V. 2.1f--before the free trial period for each of them
expires.
But so far I haven't been able to make it (them) work.
I have unzipped Trumpet (twsk21f.zip) in a directory named
Trumpwsk, created a windows group named Network, brought into the
Network group all the Trumpet .exe files, and added a
path=c:\trumpwsk in the autoexec.bat file. The Opera browser is
loaded in a directory named Opera, and its Windows icon is in the
Applications group.
When I load Opera and type in a www address, Trumpet's TCPMan
loads and opens a small window which says "initializing modem,"
then "dialing (the IP's phone number)," then "connected. Now
logging in as (my user ID)."
It sits there like that for a minute or two. Then the small
window says "disconnecting modem," following which a bit bit
bigger window appears, which says "! Network Problem."
I don't know what to do--or if there's anything I can do.
I'm used to using Internet Explorer Ver. 3.02a which is specially
prepared for my IP (which, by the way, provides support only for
Internet Explorer and Netscape--so I won't be able to get any
help from them about Opera/Trumpet.
When I use IE I get the same dialing messages as with Trumpet,
except for one final one which says "verifying username and
password." And with IE after that verification, I'm taken to the
IP's home page--from which I can go to other places. Should
Opera/Trumpet be doing the same thing? I don't know.
Anybody been there before and maybe can help me?
Thanks in advance.
