Last night I got my newly build 486 system out on the web. I used trumpet Winsock on windows 3.1 and Netscape 4.07. I 'dialed' PPP over to my linux box, which ran pppd. I had a BD9 serial extension cable, and quick-hacked together a 3-wire null modem adapter.
Works great!
Except: I have the trial version of Trumpet! OOPS. It will expire soon.
So... here's my question... Anyone know of a good, free (or non-cripled shareware) winsock implementation for Win 3.1x? I don't need ethernet, I'm happy living with PPP; I can crank it up to 112500, which is way better than you would have gotten with a modem back then...
I tried Internet Explorer 5 for Windows 3.1... It won't recognize my null-modem as an actual modem.
