DNTools II - Version 2.0 DNTools is designed to help you monitor, optimize, and simplify your Dial-up Networking connection. DNTools is an integrated dialer, connection monitor, optimizer, connection keeper, automatic reconnector, email notifier, and hosts file manager. Use DNTools to dial, and it will redial until your connection is made, at the minimum speed acceptable to you, it will then play an audio file to let you know it is connected, and launch your browser (or other software) for you automatically. While you are connected it will show you your upload and download speeds, check for new email at a regular interval, ping your isp at random intervals, and reconnect you automatically if your Internet connection is dropped. DNTools also provides access to all of the Microsoft Dial-up Networking optimization parameters found in the registry, and can test your connection and automatically fine tune these settings for you, giving you peak Dial-up networking performance. In addition, DNTools will enable you to use and manage your 'Hosts' file, which is a local database of Internet host names and associated IP addresses. This is like having your own name server right on your computer. You can enter host names manually, or import them from Netscape bookmarks, or Internet Explorer Favorites.
