- DNTools II
- Copyright Atmosoft, 1999.
-
- DNTools is designed to help you monitor, optimize, and simplify your Dial-up
- Networking connection. DNTools is an integrated dialer, connection monitor,
- optimizer, connection keeper, automatic reconnector, email notifier, and hosts
- file manager.
-
- Use DNTools to dial, and it will redial until your connection
- is made, at the minimum speed acceptable to you, it will then play an audio
- file to let you know it is connected, and launch your browser (or other
- software) for you automatically. While you are connected it will show you
- your upload and download speeds, check for new email at a regular interval,
- ping your isp at random intervals, and reconnect you automatically if your
- Internet connection is dropped. This is the definition of Dial-up Networking
- simplification. DNTools also provides access to all of the Microsoft Dial-up
- Networking optimization parameters found in the registry, and can test your
- connection and automatically fine tune these settings for you, giving you peak
- Dial-up networking performance. In addition, DNTools will enable you to use
- and manage your 'Hosts' file, which is a local database of Internet host names
- and associated IP addresses. This is like having your own name server right
- on your computer. You can enter host names manually, or import them from
- Netscape bookmarks, or Internet Explorer Favorites. DNTools will then look
- up the associated IP addresses.
