Problems with Trumpet

This is to inform all Discovery Net users of certain problems that have been appearing with Trumpet Dialer for Windows. Due to changes in Internet technologies certain web sites have become unavailable to web travelers using Trumpet Dialer. In addition to this the dialer has proven to be unreliable in maintaining a solid connection.

To remedy this problem we are making available the Microsoft Internet Explorer with Dialer and Mail. We strongly recommend downloading this program and installing it if you are still using Trumpet Dialer for Windows.
