Using SLiRP with Trumpet Winsock

Making the SLIP Connection

• Install SLiRP first. Check the installation guide.
• Obtain the Trumpet Winsock distribution from ftp.trumpet.com.au. (version 2.0b available on the web here).

1. Start Trumpet.
2. Select File -> Setup. You will see a window like the following:
   
3. In the IP address box, type 10.0.2.15.
4. In the Name server box, type the IP address of your DNS. If you don't know your DNS, ask your sysadmin, or just start slirp on your Unix host and watch for a line that says something like:
   IP address of your DNS(s): 137.132.87.2, 137.132.86.2
   and pick one of those set of numbers to use.
5. In the MTU box, type 552.
6. In the TCP MSS box, type 512.
7. Check the Internal SLIP checkbox.
8. In the SLIP Port box, type the com port number you want Trumpet to use.
9. In the Baud Rate box, type the computer-modem baud rate to use.
10. Check the Van Jacobson CSLIP compression checkbox.
11. Done - Click OK to return to Trumpet Winsock's main window.

With Trumpset Winsock setup done, you are ready to login and start using SLIP. You can actually automate the login process, but that will be beyond the scope of this tutorial.

1. Start Trumpet.
2. Select Dialer -> Manual Login.
3. You have a sort of terminal screen now.
   
   Login to your Unix host manually. You must send the commands to your modem to dial-up your Unix host and go through the login userid/password procedure.
4. When you're at your shell prompt, go to your SLiRP directory and type:
   slirp -m 552 -c
   Confirm that SLiRP is ready.
5. Done - Press ESC to enable SLIP mode.

For more setup/configuration information, check the SLiRP/TIA and Trumpet Winsock Setup Reference.
