Would someone please tell me what zip file goes works with trumpet winsock, 
how you are supposed to set it up and what changes you need to make to your 
system.  Also, how do I need to set it up to run?  What files do I need?  
Thanks.

Sorry everyone.  I have a bad server problem so it is down for now as far as 
recieving mail and being recognized by other servers.  Anyways, just forward 
the message to my friend  and he'll get it to me.  As for this message, well I 
can mail out, but our server "doesn't exist" to other servers when recieving 
mail.  Beats me, you figure it out.  I sure haven't had any luck.  Oh, right, 
here's his addy:

My question exactly. I have set it up (see below) but I can't compose a 
letter. Pine says I must have a mailbox on a remote system. Does Pine not 
compose offline? How do I actually make a dialup connection?

I unzipped the files into a new directory, c:\pine, then went to the 
Windows File menu and chose Run (c:\pine\pine.exe) but that wouldn't work 
because Windows couldn't find winsock.dll. I found that file in my 
Netscape directory and copiedit over to the Pine directory. Now it 
started. Looked mighty pretty too. It actually dialed up my internet 
provider to get email help message, but failed because I;'d made a 
mistake in setting the domain name. (I finally got the domain name etc 
off the configuration window for my Eudora mail utility.)

Since I missed that chance, I simply don't know how to dial up. And even 
when I do dial up, there won't be a Pine inbox (whatever) on the boss 
computer there, will there?

I would be glad of any pointers - Dan
