OTTool 1.0ァ3 Read Me
======================
What is OTTool?
OTTool is a free utility which provides a synopsis of the AppleTalk and IP
configuration parameters within Apple Computer's Open Transport networking
architecture. In addition, OTTool allows users on IP networks to make
Domain Name Server (DNS) queries and ping devices using ICMP Pings. This is
a beta version of OTTool and we would like to hear your suggestions and
comments regarding the software. Please send your feedback to
ottool@neon.com.
What changed in OTTool since version 1.0ァ2?
We received a lot of suggestions for improving OTTool from users. With
version 1.0ァ3, we tried to smooth out the user interface, especially for
the much-used TCP/IP DNS queries. We added an Actions menu with
command key equivalents for the Query and Ping buttons. We also added
some more edit capabilities for the Query DNS section. Thanks for the
suggestions, and keep them coming!
AppleTalk and IP Configuration Parameters
When launched, OTTool gathers the AppleTalk and IP network configuration
parameters from your Macintosh and displays them in the OTTool window. The
AppleTalk parameters are on the left side of the window and the IP
parameters are on the right. The following network information is retrieved:

ICMP Ping window
----------------
At the top of the ICMP Ping window is a set of three editable parameters
contained within the following sentence: "Send [A] packets with [B]
second(s) interpacket delay waiting no more than [C] second(s) for a
reply." [A] is the number of ICMP packets to send to the device,
[B] is the number of seconds between each packet that is sent, and [C] is the
number of seconds that OTTool should wait before considering a packet
lost.
Once you have set variables A, B, and C to your liking, click the Start
button to begin pinging the device. As OTTool is pinging the device, the
following real time information is displayed in the lower portion of the
ICMP Ping window:
