Trumpet Winsock 3.0a PPP Setup with SGT

How to set up PPP using Trumpet Winsock 3.0a with
Shouting Ground Technologies

Assumptions Made

This document assumes that you have a modem installed and properly configured.
This document assumes that you do not have other Winsock stacks installed. The Trumpet Winsock 3.0a installer will ask you if you want to rename any pre-installed Winsock stacks.

Note: Shouting Ground does not recommend using Trumpet Winsock 3.0a for Win95 Dialup-Networking. Use the built-in Dialup-Networking facilities.

What You Need

The latest version of the Trumpet Winsock Protocol Stack is twsk30a.exe. This is a self-extracting archive. Download it or put it on your hard-drive and run it. It will extract a number of files; one of which is called INSTALL.EXE. Run this program.

During installation, you will be asked where you want the software installed, whether or not you want to disable any other Winsock stacks it finds, as well as whether you want to go ahead and configure Trumpet Winsock 3.0a. You will also be asked for the name of a new Trumpet Winsock Program Group. You can create a new one, or place the Trumpet Winsock applications in a pre-existing Program Group. Some changes will also be made to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The Trumpet Winsock Installer will show you the proposed changes. You can create a backup AUTOEXEC.BAT if necessary.

Finally, you will be asked if you want to configure Trumpet Winsock. Click "Yes" to continue on to the setup screens.

First you will be shown the Trumpet Winsock License Agreement. Please read this agreement; Trumpet Winsock is shareware and carries a nominal registration fee.

Main Setup Window

Here you will find the basic TCP/IP settings for Trumpet Winsock. They should be as follows:

	IP Address	`0.0.0.0`
	DNS server(s)	`66.209.192.5 66.209.192.15`
	Domain suffix	`shout.net`
	Driver	`PPP`
	MTU	`1500`
	TCP RWIN	`4096`
	TCP MSS	`1024`
	TCP RTO MAX	`60`
	Demand load timeout	`5 seconds`

IMPORTANT: Notice the space between the two DNS servers.

Next click on the "Dialler settings..." button.

Dialler Settings

Here are settings specific to your dialup connection. Yes, "dialler" is spelled that way in Australlia.

COMM Port COM1 (see below) Baud rate 38400 (see below)

Hardware Handshaking Checked VJ Header Compression Not Checked

Auto redial on disconnect Not Checked (see below) Automatic Login Login on network activity (see below)

Parity and Word Size Standard SLIP/PPP Settings Online Status Detection DCD (RLSD)

Inactivity timeout 30 minutes

Notes:

Your COMM Port may be different depending on how your modem is installed.
Baud rate specifies the speed between your modem and your computer, NOT between your modem and the modems at Shouting Ground. Typical Windows 3.1 communications drivers will not handle speeds higher than 38400. Feel free to experiment.
The Auto-redial and Automatic Login settings are more a matter of personal preference.

When finished, click the OK button on both the "Dialler Settings" dialog and the "Main Setup" window. Choose "Profile..." from the Dialler menu.

Login Profile

This section is where you setup the login connection and specify your username and password.

	Username	`Enter your Shouting Ground dialup username here.`
	Password	`Enter your Shouting Ground dialup password here.`
	Phone	`3514020`
	Next click on the "Modem Settings..." button.

Modem Profile

This section is where you can set up special configurations for your particular make and model of modem. In most cases, you shouldn't have to make any changes to this screen. On most modems,

&f: Reset the modem to the first factory preset.
&c1: Turn DCD (Data Carrier Detect) on while carrier is present.

You can insert more settings if you need to disable a particular protocol or compression algorithm. Check your modem manual for details.

Couldn't open modem dialog. Use reset string Checked, with "z"

Init string &f&c1

Dial string dt

Hangup string h

Click "OK" and click on the "Server Settings..." button from the previous dialog.

Server Profile

This section sets up how Trumpet Winsock interacts with our terminal-server once your modem has made a connection.

	Username prompt	`login:`
	Password prompt	`word:`
	Command prompt	`>`
	SLIP command	`[Leave blank]`
	SLIP response	`[Leave blank]`
	PPP command	`1`
	PPP response	`[Leave blank]`
	Scan for IP address	`[Leave blank]`

That's it!!!

You should be ready to connect to the Internet. Depending on how you've setup the Automatic-login settings, you can either force a login by choosing "Login" from the Dialler menu, or Trumpet Winsock may start itself automatically if a network application tries to make a connection of some kind.

Legalities

Trumpet Winsock is not free. You are free to try it out for 30 days, but after that time-period, Trumpet Winsock will disable itself and no longer run. To register Trumpet Winsock, send $25 to the authors' US address:

	Trumpet Software International
	21660 East Copley Drive
	Suite 340
	Diamond Bar, CA
	91765

An order form can be found by choosing "Contents" under the "Help" menu (all the way to the right-hand side of the menu bar of the main Trumpet Winsock window.) Click "Registration Details". There should be an Order Form which you can print out and submit along with your check. We don't recommend you register over the Internet. The authors will send back a registration username and password that will disable the time-lock.
