Evan's message snipped...
 
We were using Trumpet winsock with Netscape and MS92.  We noted
extraordinary LAN traffic on some segments (up to 80%!) which, after LAN
analyzing, we determined was polling exchanges between MS92 and
Trumpet.  We found a variety of versions of Trumpet (1.0 -2.0B) and
MS92 2.x -3.5.0).  The problems disappeared when we cleaned up the
early Trumpet and MS92 versions.
 
We also noted more stable
performance when we use the MS Winsock.  The 32-bit versions and
Windows 95 are extremely stable and don't cause any funnies with the
LAN.
 
Central control of versions via a server rather than local
installations reduces the maintenance load.
 
 
It's all good, clean fun...
