Huh? It must have played with your winsock.dll, I've personally had
trumpet working *fine* with Win '95 for the past (what is it.. 5+
months?) with betas and the final release of windows '95. Some of my
users still use trumpet in win95.
Trumpet is unreliable? I've seen it crash maybe once in the
past 1 1/2 years (Win 3.1, Win95, etc). Also you have to buy the $80
"Plus Pack" with Win95 to even use the Internet features.
My two cents..
