[hackerspaces] Remember Trumpet Winsock?

[ITechGeek]

I seem to remember some ISPs having issues getting Win95 (or maybe
they just didn't want to provide extra phone support for users) to
work w/ their SLIP connections and still giving out copies of Trumpet
Winsock until they got those resolved.  If I remember correctly
Trumpet Winsock was one of those nice little programs that the company
gives you the software to install, then you load 1 script that has all
the required settings (in some cases username/password pre-entered)
and phone numbers.

No having to walk users through where to put what.
