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.
