- NetInfo
- =======
-
- NetInfo is a little network utility which provides GUI
- driven access to some standard network services. It can
- also be controlled via ARexx for easy integration which
- other applications. The output window provides cut&paste to
- the clipboard.
-
- NetInfo is (C) 1997 Oliver Wagner <owagner@vapor.com> &
- Philip Law <plaw@vapor.com>, All Rights Reserved. It is
- shareware, and is provided as a free add-on to users who have
- already registered Voyager-NG, AmIRC or AmTALK. To make the
- startup information requester go away, simply copy your Voyager,
- AmIRC or AmTALK keyfile into the NetInfo directory, or S: or
- KEYFILES:
-
- NetInfo works with Miami, AmiTCP and in a limited
- fashion with as225/cpr225/inet225 TCP/IP stacks. Due
- to the outdated implementation of the BSD socket API
- in the as225 based TCP/IP stacks, the "Traceroute"
- query may fail.
-
- The installer script is copyright 1997 Robert Reiswig. - Thanks
- RobR! :-)
-
- Query types
- -----------
- The following query types are understood by NetInfo:
-
- 1. Lookup
-
- Does a DNS lookup on the provided name and prints out
- canonical name, aliases and IP numbers.
-
- 2. Finger
-
- Does the standard finger lookup.
-
- 3. WHOIS
-
- Does a WHOIS database lookup. If no host is specified,
- queries rs.internic.net.
-
- 4. Traceroute
-
- Performs a UDP TTL exceed trace route.
-
- 5. PING
-
- Performs a ICMP_ECHO round trip timing.
-
- 6. Services
-
- Scans the given host for a set of standard TCP
- services, and prints some information about
- the server if available.
-
- Arexx
- -----
- To use a query form ARexx, simply use "query what".
- For example, to do a PING on www.vapor.com:
-
- ADDRESS NETINFO.1
- 'PING www.vapor.com'
-
- Buttons
- -------
- The button imagery is loaded at run time from the directory
- "PROGDIR:ButtonImages". You can fill in your own (8 Bit)
- IFF files there if you want to modify the look. If NetInfo
- is unable to find those files, standard textual buttons are
- used.
