".....I have a 3Com PCMCIA ethernet card for my TP755CE. I would like to be able to hook this to our local netwrok of mostly SGI and Sun workstations so that I can do ftp/telnet/SLIP/etc. I understand that the public domain software Trumpet would let me do this. I have the trumpet software, but I don't know where to find the drivers for this and the PC card to work together. Can someone give me directions on where I can find the driver and configure the PC card to use trumpet? We have no resident experts on PC networking at our site. I do plan on running Linux on the TP once I figure out how to do it, and I am in the process of investigating what I need to do. Also, if I upgrade MS Windows 3.11 to WWG 3.11, would I be able to mount the disks on our unix workstations and fileserver? Or would I need Sun PC-NFS or similar software?....." ~~~~~~~~~~ I'm not sure what all of your needs are, but the tcp/ip stack that comes with the WFWG license (WinTCP) serves all of our thinkpads beautifully for inet access over the LAN. We use the Xircom, not 3Com, cards, but we don't need no steenking Trumpet to get T1 speed ftp/telnet/www etc. not sure what you mean by SLIP over the LAN, unless you mean redirecting a com port to a network modem & SLIPing in from there, in which case you will need something more than WinTCP. But if your inet server is on your LAN, all you need is the ip addresses of the server & the gateway to get there with WinTCP (you'll also avoid spending windoze memory on a third party product).
