1. Firstly load Trumpet Winsock Up and press the Escape (Esc) once.
   
   
2. Click on File at the top of the window and then click on setup.
   
   
3. On the setup screen you need to make sure the following are setup :

   Internal PPP is ticked
   Internal SLIP is NOT ticked.
   Hardware Handshake is Ticked
   CSLIP Compression is NOT ticked.
   Baud Rate is 38400
   
   Everything else should be left as its default setting..... Click OK
   
   
4. Now click on File at the top of the window and click PPP Options. Tick use PAP Authentication and enter your username and password.
   
   
5. Click on Dialler and then Options in the menu at the top of the window. You should select automatical login and logout on demand, you should have the SLIP Timeout set to 0 and have Use standard SLIP settings ticked.

8. Now enter you access number for your local area and press OK.
   
   
9. It will now ask for a modem init string. Just leave the default one there and click OK. If you have problems with this then come back later and change it to AT&F&C1&D2 (but write down the original one first). Click Ok to continue.
   
   
10. Leave the diagnostic info off with 0 and click OK.
    
    
11. Just Click Ok thru the rest leaving the defaults, since we don't use scripting. Now just minimise Trumpet and start your browser. When trumpet see's your browser trying to access the internet, it will automatically dial and connect you !!
