NetInfo II
==========
*** <BETA WARNING!> ***
This is beta software! Don't use it if you are not an experienced
Amiga user, and/or can't stand annoying bugs or crashes galore.
Please subscribe to the NetInfo mailing list to discuss the
beta versions. No public announcements will be done about
the beta testing, and -- please -- do not spread information
about the beta to any public forums for now.
To subscribe to the NetInfo mailing list, mail to
<netinfo-request@vapor.com>
and put "SUBSCRIBE" in the subject or body.
This beta version will timeout and refuse to work on 1-May-99.
Note that there may be NO UPDATE on a timeout, so please don't
replace an existing NetInfo installation with a beta.
A note regarding crashes: NetInfo II keeps writing
information to the HD for caching purposes, so program
crashes during operation are inherently violent and may
damage your file system. It is absolutely recommended that
you install NI2 on a HD partition with no valuable data.
Another note: You manually have to install the provided
Textinput classes to MUI:Libs/MUI/. Previous classes
have a bug in a certain method used by NI2 which
causes severe Nuke«.
*** </BETA WARNING!> ***
NetInfo II is a network information viewer utility. It integrates
the functionality of the well known standalone TRACEROUTE, PING, WHOIS
and FINGER programs into a seamless GUI application.
Features:
- "quick traceroute": Sends a series of packet in quick
succession to get a route overview very fast, then
does accurate timings for the individual hops
- graphical display of hop min/last/max timings
- integrated smart WHOIS function: double-click on
a IP, Host or Network column to automatically receive
WHOIS information for the given object. NetInfo
determines the WHOIS host to query.
- automatically retrieves WHOIS network information
for hosts
- automatically scans destination host for Web (HTTP) and FTP
server versions
- history for all queried hosts
- integrated FINGER client
- integrated "classical" WHOIS client with on-disk cache
