Internet Control is a MacOS Control Strip Module which provides an easy way to access your internet software. Just click on Internet Control’s icon in the Control Strip, and you have access to your installed internet tools by selecting the internet protocol that you want to use.

Selecting “http” for example, will launch your Web browser. The protocols and associated Helper Applications are set using the Internet Config System (included in the distribution package). You can use Internet Control to access the Internet Config System directly, by selecting the “Edit Helpers” menu item. This will launch IC and allow you to configure your helper applications. Note that Internet Control only shows those helper applications wich are both LISTED in IC’s Helper Applications window, AND are found on your hard disk.
Click on Internet Control’s icon with the COMMAND Key down and you will see a list of the helper applications that you have installed on your computer, along with their internet protocalls.
Click on Internet Control’s icon with the CONTROL Key down and you will see your current IP number and DNS host name. If you are using MacTCP, you will also see the Global MacTCP info here. (Note: Global Info is not yet supported when using OpenTransport)
• Network Software Indicator
If you hold down the CONTROL key while clicking on the ICC icon, the first item in the menu tells you if you are using MacTCP or OpenTransport networking software.
• Dynamic Activity Indicator
If you are using MacTCP, you will see Internet Control’s Earth icon rotate when IP packets are being sent and/or received!
