    i have windows for workgroups 3.11 installed over a caldera dr-dos 7.03 system.

    how do i get it to connect to the internet?
    i know my dialin number, i know my logon and password (i suspect these are pap login details)

    in fact here;s how it's done in linux:

    anyway, how is it done in windows 3.11?
    i have found a lot of confusing and conflicting info about trumpet winsock etc, and it confuses me and i can't get it going.
    also i don't want to use IE, even if it does have its own tcp/ip stack. i don't like or trust IE.
    i would rather use mozilla or phoenix or some other open source browser.

    i did get arachne but cannot install it as it says i don't have enough memory (hmmph, 640MB of RAM, but then it will be something about memory managers etc)
    so can i use some mozilla or firebird do you think?

    how does one do this?
    thanks in advance.

    That stuff brought back memories. Been a while since I ran wfwg and I started it before M$ offered a TCP/IP protocol so we used several 3rd party things.
