SLiRP

Win 3.1 with Trumpet Winsock

Trumpet Winsock is a Shareware WINSOCK add-on for Windows 3.1. It has WINSOCK and SLIP support built-in. Much appreciation and thanks is hereby heaped up to Doug Walsh.

Ready Made Package

George Imburgia has made a ready-to-go self-extracting archive complete with Trumpet Winsock and the needed config files set up and ready to go (with some minor tweaks noted below). Remember, Trumpet Winsock is shareware and you are bound legally to purchase it after you try it and want to keep it.

  • slirp.exe is a self extracting zip file that contains all the files you need to get slirp running with winsock. (A collection of Windows 3.x applications is available at TUCOWS)

    1) Copy slirp.exe to a directory on your hard drive.

    2) Run slirp.exe

    3) Run tcpman.exe (it gets created by slirp.exe in the same directory)

    4) Answer the Login: and Password: prompts as you would in lab.

  • If the preset configuration doesn't work with your modem, run tcpman.exe. Pull down the _File menu and select _Setup. In the box labeled "Slip port" fill in the com port your modem is on (you will need to quit tcpman and restart it for the change to take effect). If you don't know what port that is, run a terminal program that works with your modem and see what port that's set to.
  • Open the file login.cmd with notepad. Replace the "AT&F1M0" on the 4th line with an init string that works with your modem. You can also get this from a terminal program that's already working.
