- NetPopup -
version 3.0
for
Windows95 / WindowsNT
NetPopup is a realtime way to send messages in Internet
or TCP/IP-network. Messages are sent directly, using
multithreading, to other computer(s) without an e-mail
server.
Since most users has dynamic IP-address, NetPopup has
built-in feature, Seeker ,which allows you easily to
search other NetPopups from the net.
NetPopup also has a Connection Wizard to help you send your
IP-address or messages via e-mail to your friend.
You can send messages to NetPopup with commandline-tool
from your own programs or batch-files.
1. What is Netpopup?
--------------------------
It's a realtime way to send messages to Your friend while
your're logged on the Internet.
It works just like Winpopup on local network.
NetPopup has also built-in fingerdaemon which is used to
serve normal finger-queries and with Seeker-utility
it helps you to track your friends from dynamic IP-addresses.
2. Why use Netpopup?
--------------------------
E-mailing take's always few minutes before mail is read and
another few minutes before reply arrive. NetPopup messages
are received in few seconds after they are sent.
Try it with Your friend and You'll love it.
3. How NetPopup works?
--------------------------
NetPopup sends messages in separate thread so you can send
another message while previous is still on the way.
4. Installing NetPopup.
--------------------------
There's no installing program. Just create subdirectory and copy
NetPopup in it.
5. Using NetPopup.
--------------------------
* Find out your friends IP-address or use Connection Wizard
* Press NEW MESSAGE -button on toolbar (or use menu)
* Write the message
* Write the destination name or IP-number to destinationbox or
select one from list
* Press SEND -button on toolbar (or use menu)
The message is sent immediately.
NetPopup uses simple verifying technique to check transmission.
Server -side of NetPopup replies the number of bytes it received
and client -side verifies that bytes received were same as bytes
sent.
When You receive a message with NetPopup You can use REPLY -button
and sender's address is automatically copied to host-name.
