Procedure 1 - This involves backing up your current connection script file, called login.cmd, replacing it with the new login.cmd in the attached email.

• Find the files; login.cmd, trumpwsk.ini, winsock.dll, and tcpman.exe in the directory on your computer where Trumpet Winsock (usually c:\trumpet or c:\netapps\trumpet or c:\dcnetapps\), your PPP connection program, is loaded, and move the files onto a diskette or into a temporary directory.

• Copy the following files from the diskette provided into your Trumpet Winsock directory. You can do this by dragging the files and pulling them to the C: icon on the toolbar or selecting copy from the file pull down menu, and typing in the correct directory. the files to copy into your trumpet winsock directory are:
  
  tcpman.exe
  winsock.dll
  login.cmd
  trumpwsk.ini
  config.exe
  config.ini
  

• Run the program tcpman.exe by double clicking on it in the directory, and enter the information it asks you. One of three things should happen; it will find your modem, dial up and connect giving you an ip address. Two, it will give a modem not responding message. his means that Trumpet is not set to look in the correct comm port for your modem. You can find the correct comm port by running your old version of tcpman.exe and looking in the setup area from the file pulldown menu. Three, some other error or nothing at all will happen. This means that the correct initialization string is not installed for your modem. Call tech support at 758.0119 or 750.0101 in either of these cases.

• Dial in and check to make sure you login properly. If you find this new script gives you problems, please remove the new scripts you have just placed in the directory. Then rename the login.old to login.cmd and trumpwsk.old to trumpwsk.ini This should allow you to connect to the current Omsoft modem bank and get help.

Procedure 2 - This method involves using an executable file, config.exe, and its partner, config.ini, to change your existing settings to dial the new local access number 757-6552.

• Find the files; login.cmd and trumpwsk.ini in the directory on your computer where Trumpet Winsock (usually c:\trumpet or c:\netapps\trumpet or c:\dcnetapps\), your PPP connection program, is loaded, and save a copy of them under new names login.old and trumpwsk.old

• Save or move the files, config.exe and config.ini from your Omsoft TRANSITION email, into your Trumpet Winsock directory. Double click config.exe to run the program; you will be prompted to enter your last and first name. Please look over the menu to make sure all your settings are correct, such as modem port and local access number (757-6552), then select save and exit.

• Dial in and check to make sure you login properly. If you find you are unable to log in, and have checked your config.exe settings, please remove the new scripts you have made, login.cmd and trumpwsk.ini, and rename login.old and trumpwsk.old to login.cmd and trumpwsk.ini, this should allow you to login as before and find help.

Establishing a PPP connection:

• From the Windows Program Manager, open the Omsoft Internet PPP Apps group.
• Run the TCP Manager. It will ask for your login ID (also known as username) and password, then dial and connect to the PPP server. You will see "Enter username>" repeated a number of times. This is normal to make sure the modems are connecting properly. 
• At some point, your username will be typed out, you'll see a "Request>" prompt, and some other messages. Shortly after the "Negotiating IP Address" message, you'll receive an IP address. 
• Once you receive your IP address, you are ready to run any of the other PPP applications, such as WSFTP, Telnet, or NewsExpress. You can now minimize the TCP Manager window.

It must remain open for your PPP applications to work. Minimize it (by clicking the downward-pointing arrow-head button on the top right corner of the window) to get it out of your way.

Disconnecting

• Log off from any host computer sessions (like a telnet to wheel). 
• Close any PPP applications you are running. 
• Switch to the Trumpet Winsock program (CTRL-ESC, pick from list). 
• Select menu Dialer..Bye. You may need to do this more than once, if your modem has difficulty hanging up. 
• Wait 10-20 seconds for the modem to hang up. 
• Select menu File..Exit. 
• Wait 10-20 seconds for TCP Manager to exit and close.
