1. Go to the StarNet program group in Windows and double click on the TCP_Man icon.
2. Click on Trace. Make sure there's nothing checked.
Note: This area is primarily for advanced diagnostics on a network. Having certain items checked will cause Trumpet to spend too much time printing diagnostic messages and lose the connection with StarNet.
3. Go to File--Setup. You should see a window like the one below.
4. In there are the following settings:
Netmask
Default Gateway
Name Server
Time Server
Domain Suffix
Packet vector, MTU, TCP RWIN, TCP MSS, Timeout, and TCP RTO MAX
Internal SLIP
Internal PPP
SLIP Port
Baud Rate
Hardware Handshake
Van Jacobson CSLIP compression
5. Click on Ok.
6. Trumpet will pop up a window saying that you'll need to exit out of the program and restart before any changes can take effect. Click on Ok.
7. If you did make any changes, you should close Trumpet Winsock and restart it.
8. Go to Dialer--Edit Scripts.
9. A window comes up. On the left-hand side, double click on LOGIN.CMD
10. A Notepad window should appear with the contents of the login.cmd file (which is the file Trumpet uses to log you in).
11. Go to Search--Find.
12. A small window pops up where it prompts you to type what you're looking for. Type in output and then click on Find Next.
13. If the Find window is still up, click on Cancel. There should be a line with "OUTPUT" highlighted. This line is where you set the initialization string for the modem.
Note: Everything between "OUTPUT" and the "\13" is the command sent to the modem. ("OUTPUT" tells Trumpet to send whatever follows. "\13" is like hitting the Enter key--it tells Trumpet that OUTPUT is done.)
By default it is ATZ or AT&F. Modem strings vary from modem to modem and strongly affect your ability to connect. You'd be best off leaving this alone unless otherwise directed.
14. Hit the F3 key on the keyboard. The text on the window should move down and another OUTPUT will be highlighted. This should be the phone number that Trumpet dials to connect to StarNet, 918-4700. (Again, there's the "\13" at the end.)
15. Hit the F3 key again. The text jumps dow to another line. This line is where Trumpet sends your login name. You login name is a capital "P" followed by your username in all lower case; Your username is the three to seven character name you selected when you started the account. For example, the user "support" would enter "Psupport" (without the quote marks). Again, there's the "\13" at the end.
16. Hit the F3 key again.
17. Hit the F3 key one more time. The text jumps down one more. This time the line is where it sends your password. Unless it was changed, your password is the eight character string of letters and numbers given when you setup the account. Passwords are case sensitive so upper case letters are not the same as lower case letters. Again, there's the "\13" at the end.
18. If you made any changes, go to File--Save.
19. Go to File--Exit. Then you should be set.
