- Beholder, The Next Generation (bntg) 8 january 1992
-
- The btng package is the result of the latest work done by
- the DNPAP group of the Delft University of Technology.
-
- The btng package includes beholder.exe, an RMON compliant
- ethernet monitor for the OS/2 operating system environment.
- It also includes the Tricklet package for OS/2 and UNIX. Tricklet is
- a set of SNMP utilities, including a full featured Perl interface.
-
- The OS/2 executables and documentation of btng and Tricklet
- version 2 can be found in:
-
- btng2exe.zip
-
- The full source of the monitor and the Tricklet utilities are in:
-
- btng2scr.zip
-
- The sources of the Tricklet utilities to be used on UNIX platforms
- are in:
-
- trcklt2.tar.Z
- trcklt2.zip
-
- OS/2
- ----
- You will need the following to run the OS/2 executables:
-
- - PC with a running OS/2 1.x or 2.x
- - ethernet network adapter
- - NDIS protocol stack
- - optional TCP/IP 1.2 from IBM for OS/2 (only used by Tricklet)
-
- UNIX
- ----
- On a UNIX platform you will need an ANSI C compiler and a TCP/IP
- stack with socket interface.
-
- OS/2 development
- ----------------
- To compile the OS/2 software, you will need:
-
- - microsoft C compiler 6.0 (last one with OS/2 support, thanx microsoft)
- - IBM's OS2 toolkit for OS/2 1.3
- - IBM's TCP/IP 1.2 kit
-
-
-
- MISC
- ----
- - btng is distributed with source code
- - we don't ask for much, just acknowledgement of our work,
- bug-reports, suggestions etc.
- - the software can be obtained using anonymous ftp
- to dnpap.et.tudelft.nl. Get the following files:
-
- pub/btng/btng2exe.zip # executables
- pub/btng/btng2src.zip # full source
- pub/btng/trcklt2.zip # UNIX source of Tricklet
- pub/btng/trcklt2.tar.Z # utils.
-
- pub/btng/perl4019.zip # OS/2 1.3 perl
- pub/btng/perl4035.zip # OS/2 2.0 perl
- pub/btng/unz50x16.exe # OS/2 [12].x unzip
-
- you can also mail to our mailserver
-

-
- Now the bad news:
-
- - btng2 is the first (beta-like) version that hits the
- public streets. There will be problems/bugs.
- - it is a very advanced piece of software, and you
- can do a lot of things wrong.
- - there is documentation, but no introduction
- for the use of SNMP and RMON monitors.
-
- We wrote this software to experiment with network managament, SNMP,
- and RMON. Although the software conforms to all these standards,
- it is should not be confused with commercial products. We don't give
- support, and don't ask for money and licence fees.
-
- So use it to experiment with network management, in non-critical
- network environments.
-
- If you are using the btng software, you are advised to join
- our mailing list.
