Click on any column header to sort that column.

Drag the column headers left or right by moving the
mouse pointer on the column header and holding the
LEFT mouse button and sliding the mouse left or right.

You can press 'CTLRL +' to automatically adjust the
columns to their full width for displaying the contents.

You can also DoubleClick between the column headers to
expand a single column to the width of its contents.

@id_boteg_host
@1101
TO

Enter the Internet Name or Address you want to call
You can also enter an optional email address.

The easiest form is just to enter the name of the computer:
jungle

You could also enter just the IP Address:
192.168.0.1

You can call a specific person at that computer:
tarzan@jungle
tarzan@192.168.0.1

The Computer might be far away, you need the full address:
jungle.faraway.com
[e-mail]

You can include an Email address:
chet@jungle+chet
chet@jungle+"Mr Tusker" <[e-mail]>
[e-mail][e-mail]

NOTE:  Email is always sent via your mail server as defined in the setup panel.

HINT:  It is easier to use the address book editor.

@id_boteg_msgtext
@1111
SUBJECT

Message text is required for Messages, Popnotes and Mail.
It can also be used for Chat, but is not required.

This edit window will accept about 32,000 characters of message text.

After entering the Text you can select how you want to send it.

If you enter a message and press 'Chat'; the person you call
has the choice to take the message instead of chatting.

You may also DRAG AND DROP files onto this window.
The list of files will be sent to the remote PC
and the remote user may accept all or some of the files.

@id_boteg_chat
@1104
CHAT

Enter the internet name of the computer you want to call
The 'Chat' button will start a connection to the host.

If you have entered any text in the Subject field, the
person you call may choose to take the message instead.

@id_boteg_mesg
@1105
MESSAGE

The 'Message' button will send your text.

This button is disabled until you enter or edit
some text in the 'Subject' window.

The message must not be empty.

@1102
POPNOTE

The 'PopNote' button will send your text.

This button is disabled until you enter or edit
some text in the 'Subject' window.

The message must not be empty.

@1103
SEND VIA EMAIL

Bote can send a message via Email
instead of a Bote Message or PopNote.

This button is disabled until you enter or edit
some text in the 'Subject' window.

To send mail you must
1)  Add or edit some text in the 'Subject' window.

2)  Supply an email address in the 'To' window.
    (an email address is preceeded by a   +  )
example:
[e-mail][e-mail]

---------------------NOTE!-----------------------
You must set up your SMTP mail server
in the EMAIL setup page for this to be available.

@1106
MAIL YOUR IP ADDRESS

Bote can send your EMAIL address to your chat partner.
This is useful if your IP address changes every time
you login to the internet.

You'll want to see the EMAIL page in
the setup menu so that you can set the
name of your mail server and login.

---------------------NOTE!-----------------------

1) You must set up your SMTP mail server in the
   EMAIL setup page for this to be available.
    (the SMTP mailer is where we send mail)

2) The address in the To: field must have an email
   address in it, eg:   [e-mail]
  (this is the person who will receive the mail)

The address book editor can make this easy for you.

@1107
CONNECT VIA WWW

World Wide Web
Your Web Browser will be started and the
address portion of the current selected address
will be sent to your Web Browser.

@id_boteg_status
@1108
THE STATUS AREA.

This shows the current Bote status,
and helpful prompts.

@1109
POPUP EDITOR

Your Editor will be started to
edit the contents of the message.

Notepad is used for editing.

You can override this by setting the environment variables
EDITOR
-or-
VISUAL
in your autoexec.bat
example: set EDITOR=c:\bin\lemmy.exe

@id_cfg_servershowuser
@3013
SHOW LOGIN NAME TO CALLERS

Set this to allow Bote to show your login name
when people call you.

If you disable this you will be announced as
'[e-mail]'

If this is not set AND you have NOT logged into your PC
you will be announced as
'[e-mail]'

When someone calls your computer
and asks for a specific person
(ie: [e-mail])
they have the option of abandoning the call
if the person they called is not logged in.

@id_cfg_clientshowuser
@3014
SHOW LOGIN NAME WHEN CALLING

Set this to allow Bote to show your login name
to the person you are calling.

If you disable this your call will be announced as
'[e-mail]'

If this is set AND you have NOT logged into your PC
your call will be announced as
'[e-mail]'

@id_cfg_clientnodelay
@3015
TCP_NODELAY

The TCP_NoDelay makes your network work a little harder
but can make your chat sessions smoother in some cases.
If your partner notices your text arriving in 'bursts'
and you don't like that,
setting TCP_NoDelay might make it smoother.
If you have a very slow connection, it might not improve things.
(for the technically inclined: this disables the TCP 'Nagle' algorithm)

@id_cfg_servervisible
@3016
SYSTEM TRAY

When this is set Bote will be put onto the system tray.
When this is clear Bote will stay on the task bar.

The 'system tray' is not really part of Windows95, it is
a part of the windows explorer shell.
If you use a different shell you should not use this.

NOTE: This setting is NOT saved.
If you want to set this permanently use the
command line option when you start Bote
/v0   Bote on the task bar (default)
/v1   Bote is hidden, assign a windows HOT key to it to pop it up.
/v2   Bote on the system tray.

@id_cfg_clientring
@3017
OUTGOING RING

Set this to have a ring signal when Bote is calling.

Bote will play the 'ringout.wav' file if possible
or it will use the PC speaker.

@id_cfg_clientautosend
@3018
AUTOSEND ON DROP

Set this to automatically make a connection when you drag
files onto the chat or 'open new connection' window.

If it is cleared, you must press the 'SEND' button to
transfer the list of files.

@id_cfg_serverpopnote
@3019
ACCEPT POPNOTES

Set this to allow 'PopUp' style notes.
When people send you a PopNote it will
appear on your screen in a small window.

When this is clear
PopupNotes will be received as Messages.

If BOTH Messages and PopupNotes are disabled
they will be DENIED.

@3020
VERIFY PERSONAL CALLS

Checks that the Person you called
is the person that answered the call.

When you call somebody and specify their name
like:  [e-mail]
Bote will prompt you to confirm the call if
it is answered by anyone other than 'Betty'

@id_cfg_clientwrap
@3021
LOCAL TEXTWRAP

Enables Wordwrap while chatting.

Your chat text will be wrapped
to fit your chat text window.

You should press ENTER to terminate a sentence or paragraph.
It makes it easier for your partner to read your text.

@3022
REMOTE TEXTWRAP

Enables Wordwrap while chatting.

Your chat partners' chat text will be
wrapped to fit your chat text window.

This is convenient when your chat partner
types without pressing ENTER.

If this is cleared, the chat window
will use a horizontal scroll bar.

@3023
BLINKY ICONS

The little Bote Icons can blink when there are errors or unread messages.

If you are using a laptop or a battery powered PC you should disable this.

Originally I put this in 'just for fun' but as it turns out it can make some
affect on performance.  If your PC is not *really* busy it won't matter.

ENABLED: the icons can blink, change color and the status line is updated
each second, but only if the PC is not busy.  This adds a small amount of
work to your PC about 0.01% load.  It keeps more of Bote loaded in memory
even when it is idle and not answering or making calls.

DISABLED: the icons can only change color,  and the status line is always
updated in real time.  When cleared, Bote adds no extra work to your PC
when it is idle and can use as little memory as possible, but may slow down
the speed at which the mini web server can respond, (but not much).

Personally I usually have a check mark in this box.

@3024
WRAP POPNOTES TEXT

Popup Notes text will be word wrapped
to fit into the size of the popup note,
When you resize the popup note window
the text adjusts itself to fit.

When this is cleared the popup note uses
scroll bars and the text appears as it
was when it was sent to you.

This can also be set in the menu that is
available on the Popnote title line but
there it is only temporary.

@3025
ALWAYS ANNOUNCE DELIVERY STATUS

If those 'Oh' boxes are bugging you
you can turn some of them off.

Enabled this and Bote will always announce
when it has finished sending the messages.

Disable this and Bote will only report if
there were problems.  If the message is
delivered without error it will be quiet.

@3026
DYNABOOK ONLINE

Set this to have a short sound when someone comes online.

Bote will play the 'online.wav' file if possible.

@3027
DYNABOOK OFFLINE

Set this to have a short sound when someone goes offline.

Bote will play the 'offline.wav' file if possible.

@3028
DYNABOOK BUDDY POPUP

Set this to have a small window popup when you
Dynabook friends are online to the network.

The border color can be GREEN/online  or  RED/OFFLINE

@3029
@3030
DYNABOOK POPUP TIMEOUT

When the DynaBook scan detects an Online partner
it will popup a small window with a green border.

Normally the window will timeout after a few seconds.
You can set that timeout here.

Set this to  0  and it will not timeout.

Instead the border color will change from Green To Red.

@3032=
                                                       REPLY TO

                                       This is NOT an Email reply-to:
                          Most people do not need this, the default is blank.

    The format of the data is   address:port   and all of the parts are optional.

    If you use a firewall, a non Bote port or DynDNS you might want this.

    A remote Bote will normally detect your IP address and use the standard
    Bote port.       This is usually correct, but not always convenient.

      If you are using DynDNS you might prefer that people respond to your
      DynDNS address instead of the Dynamic Address supplied by your ISP.

Examples:
     bote1.dyn.ml.org
     193.98.10.232:54637
     MYPC.BEHINDTHEPROXY.COM:8001

            There are also some special symbols you can use for 'address'
*    Remote Bote uses the address it sees (default, recommended).
=    Remote Bote uses your current IP name
#    Remote Bote uses your numeric (#.#.#.#) IPaddress.
+    Remote Bote uses your DynDNS domain if the DynDNS update is OK
       otherwise it uses the address it sees. (recommended for DynDNS users)

                  There is also one special symbol you can use for 'port'
*     Tells bote to use whatever non-standard port you are using.

      NOTE! Bote clients prior to Version 1.45 cheerfully ignore all of this.

@5060

           Internet Service providers often
             supply 'dynamic' IP addresses.

PLAINTEXT

No encryption, text is sent in clear, plain text.

This is what most chat programs use and is the
only mode available when talking to a telnet
chat partner.

@40085
LEVEL1

The simple data scrambling is fast and efficient
and is suitable only to deter casual snoopers.
AutoSensing makes this easy to use.

About the only thing you can say about this
level of scrambling is that an interloper
would have to make a conscious effort to
read the data, it could not be read 'by accident'.

@40086
LEVEL2

Medium level data encryption.
Every keystroke generates several binary characters
of encrypted text, a challenge for the advanced hacker.

AutoSensing makes this easy to use.

This is a convoluted encryption and scrambling routine
that is useful because it is easy to use and does not
require an exchange of keys.

This will not work with a firewall or IP Masquerade.

@40087
LEVEL3

Medium protection based on user supplied keys.
Seriously convoluted, this just might
be secure enough for your shopping list!

This will not work with a firewall or IP Masquerade.

@40088
LEVEL4

Similar to LEVEL3 but strictly key based it should
work well with firewalls, and IP Masquerade.

Because it does not ensure that the remote Ip address
is the true IP address it is not as secure as Level 3.

@40094
RESYNCH

If your communication link is disturbed
the encryption process may be disturbed.

It can be that one window is encrypted and
the other window is not, or that the windows
are using different levels of encryption.
You may see unintelligible (encrypted) text.

The only way to recover is to force YOUR side
back to completely unencrypted plaintext with
this option, and wait, and hope your chat partner
does the same.  You can then try to restart an
encrypted conversation.

You might also want to send them a PopNote to
tell them you reset your connection.

if you are not receiving Messages or PopNotes.

example:
[e-mail]

@5212
SMTP MAIL SERVER

If Bote can not deliver a message in the normal
way, it will try to email it to the user.

The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) mail server
that you use for sending mail will receive the mail
and forward it to the user as standard email.

The first line of the message is the SUBJECT:.
Your LoginName, or 'Bote' is the FROM:
Your Email address is the Reply-To:

example:
mail.primal.org

@5213
YOUR REAL NAME

This is optional.
You can include your real name
when you send email messages.

@5222
SETUP EMAIL

Bote does not need email for normal use.

Enabling email offers some nice benefits

and forwarding failed messages via email.

This can be very handy when you use Bote to
send notes to people about telephone calls
'while they were out', If Bote is not running
on their PC, or their PC is turned off, they
can receive them later when they return.

Bote will first try to deliver the messages
as a normal message or popnote, then if that
fails You may choose to send it by email.

Please Note: that this is a *minimal* email
ability and only uses the basic SMTP mail
capability for sending mail.

@5223
SETUP FILE TRANSFERS

Bote is designed to be safe.
Nobody wants other people to write unwanted data.
And nobody should be able to read your files
unless you allow them to.

Bote does this by allowing you to choose
the files you will offer to the other person.

When you are that 'other person' Bote allows you
to select the files you will receive.

You can even disable the ability of people to
send you a list of files.

@5224
SETUP MESSAGE LOGS

The Bote Message log can contain a
history of incoming and outgoing calls.

Log everything, or have received a lot of calls.

Verify Personal Calls
option is selected in the setup panel.

@5243
SERVICE PORT
Bote listens for TCP/IP messages on port 54637.
If you are calling a Bote User you need not change this.

If you wanted to connect to a telnet site you could
enter the word    telnet    or the number    23

A list of many standard services are listed in
c:\windows\services (a standard windows file).

Normally this field is empty.

@1114
@5260
@40080
BOTE ADDRESS BOOK

The Bote address book can help you to add, edit, update and delete addresses.

The address book editor makes it easy to enter the Internet address,
personal name and email address of the people you talk to.

The location of the address book file can be set in the setup panel.

You may still use the editor without a file, but you can not save any entries.

DYNABOOK SERVER

This button starts and stops the DynaBook server.

The DynaBook server is built into Bote.
It scans the addresses in your Address Book.

Each address that is marked for scanning is
sent a 'ICMP' packet (ping).  If the ping is
successful it may also check to see if Bote
is active on their computer.

If the test is successful the address is
copied into your DynaBook.

---------------------NOTE!-----------------------

This will keep your Internet connection alive
and may also cause dialouts!
So be sure to disable it when you do not want it.

@1120
RECORD VOICE

You can record a voice message and it will
be attached to your popnote or chat request.

The external program 'BoteWave' will be started

buttons to control the audio recording.

When you end the recording press the OK button.
To discard the recording, just close the window.

@5263
INCLUDE IN DYNABOOK SCAN

This checkbox is only useful when the DYNABOOK server is enabled.

When this option is checked Bote will scan the internet
for this user. When Bote determines that the connection
is active it will also check to see if Bote is running
on the remote machine.  If it is successful it will add
this address to your DynaBook of Online friends.

If this option is 'grayed'  The Dynabook server will
only do a partial scan, a simple ICMP (ping) to determine
if the remote address is active and online to the Internet.
It will not check for an active Bote connection.  If the
ping is successful it will add this address to your
DynaBook of Online friends.

If they wiggle, it is because
you changed something and should
press the 'APPLY' or 'OK' button
to save your changes before exit.

When you press 'APPLY' to save
your changes, they will be quiet.

@5298
APPLY NOW

This button is active when you have made any changes.
It is 'grayed out' and not available
if you have not made any changes.

You may press this button at any time to
update the Bote program with the changes
you have made.  It is the same as the OK
Button except it does not close the window.

The cancel button has no affect after this.

CHAT ENCRYPTION LEVEL3

There are two (2) passwords required for chat encryption.
Normally you can use the same password for both send and receive.
1) Outgoing ENcryption, this password scrambles  your outgoing text.
2) Incoming DEcryption, this password DEscrambles the incoming text.


If your OUTgoing ENcryption password is  2fuzzy4u
your partner would use that for INcoming DEcryption.

If your partners' OUTgoing ENcryption was Imfuzzy2
you would use that for INcoming DEcryption.

NOTE:  lower case and UPPER case is NOT The Same.
       the password 'gutzuvogel' will not match 'GutZuVogel'

ABOUT IP

UserName
This is the login name you used
when you started your computer and
logged into windows or the network.
If you did not login it says 'NoLoginName'


IPName
The "readable" name of your IP connection.
If you have a registered IP name it will
look something like   [e-mail]
This will normally be the same every time.

If you have a Dynamic IP connection
to your ISP this name may be somewhat
cryptic and might look something like:
ppppapchapslip104.tunnel.yourisp.com


IPAddress
This is your real IP address.
For a registered IP site this is constant.
For a dynamic IP site it will often change.
looks like    aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
(4 numeric groups but not always 3 digits)

@5314
ABOUT IP

Displays your IP name and address.
If you use DUN/DFU and you are not
connected it may take a few seconds.

@5315
BOTE PORT

A visible number in this location
shows the nonstandard port number.
The /p command line option set this.

This instance of Bote is listening
and by default sending, using the
indicated port number.

If you want to send to the standard
Bote port you should append  :54637
to the host address.

example
[e-mail]:54637

@5317
HTTP/WWW

This page contains settings for the
(H)yper (T)ext (T)ransfer (P)rotocol
as used on the (W)orld (W)ide (W)eb.

@5318
ANSWER HTTP REQUESTS

Check this if you want an HTTP server.

It quite limited in what it can do.
It only serves HTTP GET requests but
that is enough to handle the most common
uses for web pages.

The server always gives the single page
that you specify, regardless of what the
caller asks for.

If you disable the server the change
is not immediate, it waits until the
next HTTP request arrives, then sends
a RESET and terminates.

You can re-enable the server at any time.

@5319
WEB PAGE

This is the name of the file
that Bote sends to ALL callers.

Bote will not give directory
reading privileges to any caller.

Any requests for a text or html
page will be remapped to this file.

@5320
BROWSE FOR THE WEB PAGE

You can select the file to
send to your WWW callers.

@5321
ZIP FILE FOR WEB PAGE

If you want to distribute a file
archive you can specify the name
of the file here.  This file will
be sent for any archive file request.

@5322
LOG HTTP REQUESTS

Incoming HTTP requests will
be recorded in the log file.

@5324
EDIT WEB PAGE

You can Use this to edit your web page.

Notepad is used for editing.

You can override this by setting the environment variables
EDITOR
-or-
VISUAL
in your autoexec.bat
example: set EDITOR=c:\bin\lemmy.exe

NOTES!: The web page is in ASCII text format.
Do not save word processing format information in it.

If you have changed the filename, or are entering it
new for the first time, you will need to press APPLY
before you edit the file.

@5325
INCLUDE HTTP HEADERS IN LOG

When this is enabled, the entire HTTP
header is included in the log file.

This can cause your log file to grow, large, quickly.

Keep an eye on it, or it could eat a lot of disk space.

Note: that this also does a 'Reverse DNS LOOKUP' which
converts the IpAddress from a number (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn)
into to the full site name.  This can be slow sometimes.

This option is only valid if you have also enabled HTTP logging.

@5327
BROWSE FOR IMAGE FILE

You can browse the filesystem
to select the image filename.

@5328
IMAGE FILE

This is the name of the file
that Bote sends to ALL callers.

@5329
REFRESH

Updates the web counter statistics

@5330
RESET HITCOUNT

The number on the button is the number of
times the web server has been accessed.

Press the button to reset the count to zero.

The counter is reset immediately, so even if
you press CANCEL it is not restored.

@5333
REDIRECT CALLERS TO:

This should be a fully qualified URL

For example:
http://www.virusmyth.com/aids/controversy.htm

Anybody accessing ANYTHING at your site
would be automatically redirected to the
specified URL.

A Word of Warning!!
Do NOT point it back to yourself!
well you can, and its fun, but the person
calling you will be redirected back to you
again, and again, and again, and again,
and again, and again, and again, and again,
and... well what happens is they call you
you say, go -->here,  and 'here' is 'here'
which is where they get told to go and do
it all over again.  Your PC gets a constant
stream of incoming web page hits, and their
browser sits their like a stone.  not nice.

@5334
REDIRECT CALLERS

CLEAR THIS if you want callers to see YOUR web pages.

If you Enable Redirects (by setting the checkbox)
WWW callers will NOT get pages from your site.

Instead the caller will be told that the pages
have been moved to a different location.

Most browsers will transfer automatically.

Browsers that do not automatically transfer
will receive the message:

302: Moved Temporarily

The requested page is temporarily located at
http://xxx.yyy.zzz

@5341
DynaDNS NAMESERVER HOST

The default value for this

members.ml.org

@5338
YOUR PERMANENT DOMAIN NAME

When you signup with  ml.org  you get a
new permanent Domain name to put here.

@5343
DYNDNS ACCOUNT NAME

This is your account name that you get
from  ml.org  This and the password
will allow you to login and update your
DynDNS entry.

@5340
DYNDNS PASSWORD

This password, together with the account name
let you login and update your DynDNS entry.

@5342
URL PATH

The default value for this

/mis-bin/ms3/nic/dyndns?command=Update+Host&domain=%s&act=%s&wildcard=on&do=mod&agree=agree

@5352
DOMAIN EXTENSION

The default value for this

.dyn.ml.org

@5347
ACTIVATE/UPDATE

An outgoing internet call is made to the Dynamic DNS provider.
The DNS provider will take your current dynamic IP address
and bind it to your registered domain name.

When people contact you with your registered name,
the connection will automatically be routed to your
PC using the dynamic IP address that your ISP has
temporarily assigned to your dialup session.

AUTOMATIC
Bote will examine your IP address every 30 seconds.
If it has changed AND it is a valid online IP address:
Bote will contact the DynDNS Server and update your
Domain Name record with your new IP address.

@5348
DEACTIVATE

An outgoing internet call is made to the DNS provider.
The DNS provider will disconnect your domain name from
the dynamic IP address.

Bote will not do any more Automatic updates until you
quit the dialog (CLOSE ALT-F4 |X|) and restart it again.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DEACTIVATE?

Please read this carefully, it is in your best
interests to read it until you understand it.

1)   When you connect to the internet, your ISP assigns your
connection a CHANGEABLE or 'DYNAMIC' IP address.

2)   When you disconnect, that same address will be given to
the next client from your ISP.

3)   If somebody tries to contact you via your registered domain
  they could be connected to the person currently using your
previous Dynamic IP address.

+---------------------------------------------------------------+
!! it is wise to DEACTIVATE when you are finished internetting !!
+---------------------------------------------------------------+

@5349
STATUS WINDOW

This window contains a log of the DNS transaction.

A successful transaction should produce something like:

HOST yoursite.dyn.ml.org ACTIVATED
or
HOST yoursite.dyn.ml.org DEACTIVATED

The Monolith organisation only allows updates every 5 minutes.
If you try to update your site too often you might receive

HOST yoursite.dyn.ml.org NOT UPDATED

Just wait a few minutes and try again.

@5344
VISIT MONOLITH

This will start up your Web Browser
and connect you to the members
signup/login page for www.ml.org

Monolith provides a free Dynamic
Domain Name Server facility that
can give you a permanent domain
name for your changing IP address.

@5345
DynDNS DYNAMIC NAMESERVER

This page contains settings
that are used with the DynDNS
Dynamic Name Server Project
from monolith.  Monolith is
a group of volunteers
'giving back to the Internet'.

They have many interesting
projects. DynDNS is just one.

DynDNS give your Dynamic IP
Address a Permanent Domain
Name that stays constant even
when the IPAddress you get from
your ISP changes when you login.

@5357
ML.ORG

The clever folks at ML.ORG
are the ones to thank for this.

What a wonderful idea, Thanks!

@5362
PRESS TO ENABLE DYNDNS

This controls whether the DynDNS dialog will popup when you
click the 'Dynamic DNS' button on the main Bote window.

DISABLED
When it is not lit up (popped out) the DynDNS will not be used and
the 'Dynamic DNS' button will not popup the DynDNS dialog window.
Instead it will only show you the current IP Address and Name.

ENABLED
When it is lit up (pushed in) the DynDNS dialog will popup when
you press the 'Dynamic DNS' button on the main Bote window.

If you are using DynDNS you should refresh your DynDNS Domain
whenever you log in or out of the internet and your ISP account.

AUTOMATIC
Bote will automatically sense your IP address.
If it detects that your IP has changed to a new active IP
it will contact the DynDNS server and update it.
NOTE: this does not DeActivate, you must do that manually.

NOTE: this does not DeActivate, you must do that manually.

@5366
BOTE DYNDNS

AUTOMATIC IP updates are only active when this window is active.

For that reason, this window never really closes.

When it is minimized it just hides itself.

It closes when you shutdown Bote or when you switch
to non-automatic DynDNS updates (maybe takes 60 seconds)

@5400
FIRST IP

The first Ip address to be scanned.
This must entered as an IP Address
(nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn)

The Bote Port Scan Tool will scan all addresses
from this address to the LAST IP address.

The reults are placed in the Log file and you
can double click on them there to connect.

@5401
LAST IP

The last Ip address to be scanned (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn)
This must entered as an IP Address
(nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn)

The Bote Port Scan Tool will scan all addresses
from the FIRST IP address to this address.

The reults are placed in the Log file and you
can double click on them there to connect.

@5402
@5403
MAXIMUM THREADS

More Threads = more system load, faster results

It takes some time to connect to the remote computer
and each thread has to wait for the connection.

By allowing several threads to run simultaneously
you can reduce the total time required to scan
the range of IP addresses.

Each thread is like another program and uses
more system resources (RAM and CPU) and
more network resources (SOCKETS),

@5404
SCANPORT

The port to scan (54637) leave this AS-IS

It is the Bote Port number.

If you change this you may get nasty email
from the owner or administrator of the computers
you are scanning.

@5405
@5406
RESOLVE

Converts between IP address and FQDN
(Fully Qualified Domain Name)

An IP address is four numbers seperated by '.'
example: 127.0.0.1

A FQDN is a name of a computer
example: www.microsoft.com

@5408
APPLY ADDRESS RANGE

Setup a Range of addresses to scan.

A 'Class C' address block is setup for scanning.

@5409
START SCAN

Starts scanning the Ip Address range.

All addresses from the FirstIP to the LastIP
inclusive will be scanned.  The Bote Port Scan Tool
will attempt to connect to each address and probe
the Scan Port you have specified.

If the connection is established an entry is made in the Log file.
You can doubleclick on that Log Entry to contact the remote User.

If the remote computer does not respond within the Timeout period
Bote will skip that computer and continue to the next address.

@5412
STOP SCANNING
Stop a running scan, (takes a while)

It may take 'Timeout' seconds for the active scan to
respond to the STOP SCAN button.  Be patient.

@5414
SCANNING

The highest IP Address being scanned now.

Whne you allow a single thread to run this number
will increment sequentially,  with multiple threads
this shows the highest IP address being scanned.

@5415
@5416
TIMEOUT

Time to wait for the remote to respond.

Bote will wait this many seconds for the remote
computer to respond to the connection probe.

If the remote computer does not respond, Bote will
close or abandon the connection and proceed to the
next IP address in the scan range.

@5417
THREAD COUNT

Shows how many threads are running now.

@5418
PROGRESS

Shows the completion extent of the scan.
The scan is complete when the bar reaches the right hand side.
