- Internet Utilities for the Amiga
- .description
- INetUtils is a series of programs designed to allow an Amiga running AS-225
- beta 2.0 software (i.e., socket.library capable) or AmiTCP 2.2 (or above) to
- interact and operate as fully functioning members of an IP network, including
- the global InterNet.
-
- INetUtils is freely distributable.
-
- The utility programs consist of:
-
- SMTPd : an SMTP daemon
- SMTPpost : an SMTP posting program
- SMTPExpand : an SMTP aliases expanding program
- NNTPpost : an NNTP posting program
- NNTPXfer : an NNTP article transfer program
- newgroup : a maintenance program for use with NNTP
- GetActive : an NNTP active file transfer program
- AmiPOP : a POP message handler
- Sabot : A newmail activity program
-
- a NNTPd is in development, but is not included in this archive.
-
- The following man pages are included:
-
- SMTPd.man
- SMTPpost.man
- SMTPExpand.man
- NNTPpost.man
- NNTPxfer.man
- GetActive.man
-
- and describe the operation of each program.
-
- To install INetUtils, see the document named INSTALL included in this
- archive.
-
- For basic help in getting SMTPd running, the following script is also
- included:
-
- StartSMTPd
-
- which is heavily commented.
-
- AmiPOP and Sabot were developed by Scott Ellis (sellis@ucssun1.sdsu.edu)
- and all communication regarding them should be directed to him. Separate
- documentation regarding them is included in the AmiPOP and Sabot archives.
-
- To properly utilize the NNTP capability requires an NNTP aware newsreader
- and a mailreader. The 'G' package is presented to meet this need.
-
- GRn is Gadtools Read News, which can properly read and post with articles
- via NNTP directly or read with the local directory setup by NNTPXfer, and
- post directly using NNTPpost. Documentation is available in AmigaGuide
- format (GRn.guide).
-
- GMail, Gadtools Mail, is still in development, and is not included in this
- archive.
-
- AmigaELM and the DMail from AmigaUUCP are quite satisfactory for reading mail.
