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 - "ping": Sends a sequence of ICMP ECHO packets to a host to measure network latency and stability. - graphical display of hop min/last/max timings for TRACE - graphical display of ping times for PING - shows geographical location of hosts with country flags - 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 - ARexx port Changes from Release 2.10 to 2.11 --------------------------------- (see "Revision History" for full details) - fixed deadlock problems with multiple PING responses - improvements for dealing with the new V3 RIPE database - improvements in WHOIS network prefix lookup tables Changes from Release 2.9 to 2.10 ------------------------------- (see "Revision History" for full details) - graphical chart display of PING results - cache info/cleanup option - various bug fixes Changes from Release 2.8 to 2.9 ------------------------------- (see "Revision History" for full details) - fixed a problem in the traceroute code which would only show up with the upcoming Roadshow TCP/IP stack - minor cleanups Changes from Release 2.5 to 2.8 ------------------------------- (see "Revision History" for full details) - added support for classical PING Changes from Release 2.4 to 2.5 ------------------------------- (see "Revision History" for full details) - now supports Internic WHOIS redirection Changes from Release 2.4 to 2.5 ------------------------------- (see "Revision History" for full details) - now supports Internic WHOIS redirection Changes from Release 2.3 to 2.4 ------------------------------- (see "Revision History" for full details) - Flag images are now integrated to speed up operation and reduce disk consumption - Fixed screwed up catalogs introduced in 2.3 Changes from Release 2.2 to 2.3 ------------------------------- (see "Revision History" for full details) - Domain to Whois server mapping is now external - PRINT functionality for FINGER/WHOIS results - ARexx port Requirements ------------ NetInfo is (C) 1997-2001 Oliver Wagner , All Rights Reserved. NetInfo works with Genesis, Miami, Roadshow and AmiTCP. "socket.library"-based TCP/IP stacks (as225r2 etc.) are not supported, and the traceroute functionality won't work with SOCKS (whois and finger will, though). NetInfo uses MUI 3.8 and the "NList" list classes by Gilles Masson.
