Like the Trumpet Winsock v 4.0, Trumpet Winsock v5.0 is a fully-featured 
32-bit dialer for use with both Windows95/98 and Windows NT as well as having 
IPv6 capability. It can be used to dial into the Internet to connect to your 
local service provider and is a Winsock v1.1 compliant TCP/IP stack. You 
should be able to make IPv6 name lookups and reverse lookups, TCP and UDP 
connections on IPv6. Your application will need to be IPv6 aware to make 
connections, however this version also includes an IPv6 -> IPv4 translator 
that allows most IPv4 apps to work over IPv6.

IPv6 is a replacement Internet Protocol that will enhance the ability to 
sustain the continuous growth of theInternet, solving the IP address space 
depletion dilemma and enhancing other properties that willeventually impact on 
the viability of the Internet. By the use of the IPv6 Addressing capability, 
rather than the existing IPv4 protocol, the limit on addresseshas been 
extended from a theoretical 4 billion to 340 trillion, trillion, trillion 
(3.4x10**38) 


Trumpet is rapidly becoming a market leader in IPv6 software for Win32 
platforms, for example, our Fanfare Internet server is IPv6 capable.

Important bug fixes include the installer problem with Win95/98 and it is now 
compatible with IE 4.0

Enjoy!!!
