	This is probably not the right group but...
Yes Trumpet works over ethernet. If it thinks that it should be using
SLIP/PPP it is probably because you haven't configured it correctly.
You need to configure your IP Address, Netmask, Gateway etc. (unless
you are using Bootp). Whether providing your own IP address or using
Bootp you will need to provide the interrupt vector of the the virtual
packet driver. If you don't have a packet driver loaded then this
could account for Winsock believing it should use SLIP/PPP.
