This is NOT a product of Intercon Systems (the makers of InterSLIP). Do not attempt to contact them for support of this Control Strip Module. If you experience a problem with InterSLIP (when activating it from this module), try removing the module from the Control Strip Modules folder which is in the System Folder and restarting.
INFORMATION
InterSLIP Strip Module is a module for Apple╒s Control Strip that allows you to control an InterSLIP connection. In order to use this module, you must have InterSLIP installed, and have it properly configured to connect to a SLIP host.
Clicking on the icon will display a popup menu. The top item shows the current status of the InterSLIP connection. The middle item allows you to open the InterSLIP Setup application, and the bottom item allows you to connect or disconnect from the selected SLIP host (the one that is hilighted in the InterSLIP Setup application). The icon will also change to display the current status of the connection.
To reposition this module in the Control Strip, click it with the Option key down and drag it to a new location.
This Control Strip module is freeware, but Infinity Systems retains the copyright. Feel free to redistribute this package as long as no changes have been made and this document is included. (This includes distribution on online services and in CD-ROM collections.)
INSTALLATION
To install this module, place it inside the Control Strip Modules folder which is inside the System Folder (assuming Control Strip is already installed). You will then have to restart your Macintosh for the new module to be available in the Control Strip.
CONTROL STRIP COMPATIBILITY
Currently, the Control Strip utility only works on PowerBooks. There is a patcher available, however, that will also make it work on desktop Macintoshes. This patcher is written by Robert Mah, and you can probably find it in wherever you got this utility. Note, however, that use of this patcher is not sactioned in any way by Apple.
Hopefully, Apple will create a new version of the Control Strip in the not-too-distant future that works on desktop Macintoshes as well as PowerBooks. I have found the Control Strip to be very useful on my desktop Mac, and I think many other people would feel the same way.
