TkNet is the popular connection utility for Linux and X windows.
This new release 1.1b contains major new functionality and
improvements in configuration and help.

The biggest difference between 1.0 and 1.1b is the addition of
new script building support. Creating a PPP connection script
is now simply a question of clicking a few toggles and entering
a few text strings.  Creating a command script which prompts
for your password (e.g. using sudo to run dip) is similarly
easy.

TkNet now also allows you to specify alternative scripts to 
run if the first fails, each with a configurable timeout.

The Help text (hyperlinked with images using MiniHelp) now 
runs to 90K!

Here's a summary of what's new in Version 1.1

*        PPP configuration screen
*        Multi-script sessions
*        Hyperlinked Help (plus editor!)
*        Individual timeouts for each script
*        New display options
*        Connect on startup option
*        Launcher may have multiple rows
*        BIFF Display Icon
*        Support for Expect scripts (allows password prompting)
*        Various minor bug fixes and improvements

And the main features from previous versions:

*        Scripts configurable via a setup screen
*        Connect status button toggles connection
*        Startup iconified option
*        Support for images
*        Display of link throughput
*        One click mail retrieval
*        BIFF style monitoring of your mail spool file
*        Integrated configurable toolbar
*        Automatic reconnection on disconnection option
*        Display of local and remote mail queues
*        Message status line
*        R-H button popup menus
*        Diagnostic Log file
