Important announcement for Windows 3.1 users calling into the Ventura line (2/11/97)!

A new Ascend MAX POP (dial-in service) has been installed in Ventura. This causes the "login.cmd" script within Trumpet Winsock to not function properly. Savvy users can download this new login.cmd file and replace the old one in the Trumpet Winsock directory. If you are not sure how to do this, you can click to download the new rainsock (Trumpet Winsock) below and reinstall. The new rainsock has the new login.cmd script.
