Introduction
* 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.
System Requirments:
A 68K or PPC Macintosh running system 7.5 or later with
at least 7 megabytes of RAM.
Features
* Client/Server pair:
Internet Helper has a client/server pair to test
internet applications, play with protocols, and connect
to wingates and SMTP servers. The client/server setup
also allows client/server 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.
