I downloaded my copy from Demon's FTP server.  Probably somewhere 
in SimTel; I really don't remember where.  Try asking Archie.

When this happened to me, I discovered it was due to an evaluation copy 
of Turnpike.  The Turnpike installation is claimed to co-exist with your 
existing Winsock, but this screws up Trumpet Winsock somehow.  When I got 
sick of Turnpike (it only took a few days) I had considerable trouble 
with comms overruns.  I fixed this by removing the (expired) winsock which 
Turnpike had left in my startup scripts. Not impressed.
