Step 1: Setting up your Modem
Open the Control Panel (in the "Main" window) and open "Ports". Click the
port that your modem is on, then click "Settings". Set the Baud Rate to
19200. "Data Bit" should be set to 8, "Parity" should be set to "None",
and "Stop Bit" should be set to 1. It is very important that
"Flow Control" is set to "Hardware". Any other setting will cause very
strange errors. Now click OK to save the changes and Close to
exit the Ports window.
Step 2: Using our Setup Utility
If you received our setup utility on a floppy disk, put it in the A:
drive, and type a:\setup.exe from a DOS prompt. Follow the instructions on
the screen.
If you don't have our setup program, click here
to download it. It is a self-extracting zip file. From a DOS prompt,
in the directory where you saved it, type ifn . This will
extract the files for you. Then type setup and follow
the instructions on the screen.
Once installed, there will be a program group in Windows called "Internet
Frontier" which contains the Trumpet Winsock dialer. Open Trumpet and from
the "Dialler" menu, click "Login" to dial. Click "Bye" from the
"Dialler" menu when you are ready to hangup.
Configuring
Trumpet Winsock (Version 2)
If you have your own version of Trumpet Winsock, open tcpman.exe.
Open the "File" menu and select Setup. Check the "Internal PPP" checkbox.
This disables all the fields that you
won't need. Your Name Servers are 66.81.101.2 and 66.81.101.9
(enter both, with just a space between them) and ifn.net is your Domain
Suffix. Change the "MTU" to 1084, "TCP RWIN" to 4096,
and "TCPMSS" to 1024. Check the "Hardware Handshake"
checkbox. Make sure that "SLIP Port" is the Serial Port number that your
modem is configured for, and that the "Baud Rate" is set to 38400 (or
higher). Click OK, close Trumpet, and then reopen it for your changes
to take effect.
Pulldown the "Dialler" menu and choose "setup.cmd". Enter the local
dial-in phone number, your login, and password when prompted.
Now pulldown the "Dialler" menu again and click "Login". It will dial and
automatically log you into Internet Frontier. To hang up, click "Bye"
in the "Dialler" pulldown menu.
