NetInfo II is a network information viewer utility. It integrates
the functionality of the well known standalone TRACEROUTE, PING, WHOIS 
and FINGER programs into a seamless GUI application.

Features
--------

- "quick traceroute": Sends a series of packet in quick
  succession to get a route overview very fast, then
  does accurate timings for the individual hops

- "ping": Sends a sequence of ICMP ECHO packets to a host
  to measure network latency and stability.

- graphical display of hop min/last/max timings for
  TRACE

- graphical display of ping times for PING

- integrated smart WHOIS function: double-click on
  a IP, Host or Network column to automatically receive
  WHOIS information for the given object. NetInfo
  determines the WHOIS host to query.

- automatically retrieves WHOIS network information
  for hosts

- automatically scans destination host for Web (HTTP) and FTP
  server versions

- history for all queried hosts

- integrated FINGER client

- integrated "classical" WHOIS client with on-disk cache

- ARexx port
