I haven't had a chance to look at all platforms/winsocks, but I can
tell with certainty that a "normal" logout with Trumpet Winsock 2.0B
results in the following lost carrier message:

Jun 1 17:48:24 ts1.frazmtn.com S2: Session Terminated - Lost Carrier

This was done by simply doing a File | Exit in Trumpet Winsock. I
received the same message by doing both a Dialer | Bye and allowing
Trumpet to shutdown by itself (using the dial/logoff on demand
feature). In other words, I haven't discovered any way to
disconnect with Trumpet Winsock that DOESN'T result in the Lost
Carrier message.
