Netwalker
Netwalker is a mailbox utility that allows a port to be used to collect
network connectivity information. This is designed to be used on Netrom/
Thenet type nodes.
Installation of netwalker is thru Desqview. It will require about a 38k
window. The desqview parameters are the same for netwalker as they are
for the mailbox. (See DV.DOC)
To run Netwalker, open the window in desqview, and enter the parmeters
for the node that you desire.
Example: NW menu
N port node_call timeout file
NA same as above but collects identification info
Q - quit
cntl-f aborts
N C n6mpw-1 30 n6mpw.nod <cr>
What this means is 'Node, port C, call n6mpw-1, 30 sec timeout with a filename
of n6mpw.nod to collect the information.
The screen output will be exactly what you will see in the file. Netwalker
will connect to the local node and query it for its routing information. It
will then n sconnect and reconnect to connect to the next node in the list.
It will then collect its routing information. This will be repeated for as long
as there are nodes to connect to. If a node that is in the routing list cannot
be connected to then the timer will disconnect the tnc from the local node
and go to the next node in the list.
The information collected in the file is information about the node and its
routing table. At the bottom of the file there is a summary of Netwalkers
activity.
To stop Netwalker just enter cntl-f and it will disconnect from the local pad.
then enter q to quit and the window will be closed and the port returned to
normal bbs activity.
