OTTool v1.1 Out For Networkers

"Neon Software has announced an upgrade to its popular free MacOS utility OTTool. OTTool provides a synopsis of the IP and AppleTalk configuration parameters within Apple Computer's Open Transport networking architecture. In addition, OTTool allows users on IP networks to make Domain Name Server (DNS) queries, ping devices using ICMP Pings, trace IP routes (UNIX traceroute), scan through ranges of IP addresses asking for resolutions, and to query a DNS for Mail Exchange and System Info. On MacOS PowerPC machines, it will also display the IP ARP cache.

Changes in OTTool since version 1.0:

* Added option to traceroute via ICMP, as well as UDP.
* Added option to express ping timeouts in milliseconds, as well as seconds.
* Recognized new Open Transport versions for MacOS 9.
* Fixed minor bugs within traceroute and the user interface.

The new OTTool can be downloaded from Neon Software's ftp site." [Hint: I had to use Fetch to get a copy.--Bill]
