Was connecting to ftp and such with a 1200 bps modem on Universite de Montreal dialup

What was the tcp-ip stack? Win-trumpet? Damn in those days internet was a tool,not the
thing it is right now.
Trumpet Winsock :-)
I Installed Windows NT on my 386/40MHz (some 35 3.5 floppy disks) which
barely run on it, but had the necessary dialup software just to download
Trumpet Winsock to use it afterwards on Win 3.1 on the same machine
(only some 15 disks to reinstall)...
Later came Win 3.11 which had a TCP/IP + Internet explorer 3 addon which
made Trumpet Winsock and Mozaic obsolete.
That where times...
