**********************************************************
*** ANNOUNCING THE RELEASE OF LINUX TKNET VERSION 0.9 ***
**********************************************************
by Charlie Kempson (charlie@siren.demon.co.uk)
TkNet is an easy to use X front end to SLIP/PPP. It was written for
managing a Demon Internet account, though the interface has been
designed for easy configuration to suit other setups. The emphasis
throughout is on ease of use.
The key functions performed by TkNet may be summarised as:
* One click connect and disconnect
* Easy-read connection status and connected time display
* One click mail retrieval (Demon users note!)
* Biff monitoring your mail spool file for new messages
* Application launching via the integrated
configurable toolbar (internal or external).
* Automatic reconnection on disconnection (optional!)
* Display of local and remote mail queues
* Message status line (also used for Microhelp)
* Right-Hand mouse button popup menus
(remember, X had it first!)
* Log file
* Extensively configurable and customisable using the
setup screens provided
* Supports global and local configuration files
* All window positions are savable as options
* Extensive on-line help
TkNet is available on the Demon FTP site ftp.demon.co.uk
under /pub/incoming and is also on sunsite.unc.edu. I have
included on the FTP site a small tar file containing various
screen-shots of TkNet in action for you to check out!
The eventual resting place should be:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Network/serial/tknet0.9.tgz
Enjoy,
Charlie
