* Internet Helper is a useful application that is basically a suite of internet tools. It has the basic port scans, service scans, and fingers. But Internet Helper also has many more advanced features such as a finger file-on-demand system for distributing text files and an advanced client/server pair to test programs or interface with other systems. This program is made as a helper to anyone who does internet programming or to anyone who sometimes needs to work with the 'net.
System Requirments:
A 68K or PPC Macintosh running system 7.5 or later with atleast 7 megs of RAM.
Features
* Client/Server pair:
Internet Helper has a client/server pair so that you may test internet applications, play with protocols, connect to wingates and SMTP servers and more. The client/server setup also is very useful for internet chatting.
* Service Scan:
This feature lets you scan for various open ports on a server or internet-connected
computer.
* Port Scan:
This feature lets you scan for a certain port number among many IP addresses.
* Finger and Finger File-On-Demand:
This useful new feature lets you turn your computer into a file server. Users
anywhere in the world can finger your computer with a keyword to receive files and
information. As far as I know, this is the first Mac finger file server anywhere.
