There was a sockets API though (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winsock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winsock) and IIRC we all used Trumpet Winsock on Windows 3.1 with our dialup connections. But could have been 3.11 - my memory is a bit hazy.

- rbanffy 8mo agoDidn’t it have a proper address book? I remember I could send faxes through Mail.
- aleph_minus_one 8mo ago> Didn’t it have a proper address book? Schedule+, which was contained in Windows for Workgroups 3.11, contained address book functionalities that were clearly better than Cardfile. But people used Cardfile for many other different purposes than serving as an address book.
