From: Stenio Brunetta <brunetta@tin.it> Subject: Asp v1.7 - a tool for finding specific hosts using dynamic IP's Date: Mon, 4 May 1998 08:05:03 GMT -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello. I'm pleased to announce asp 1.7. Now asp automatically stores the address of the searched host in /etc/hosts. In this way you can simply use the name of the host instead of remember its address. LSM entry follows: Begin3 Title: asp Version: 1.7 Entered-date: 21FEB98 Description: Asp finds the IP address of an host connected to Internet knowing the host name and its possible IP addresses. The use of asp is suggested when the nameserver of the looked for host does not provide information about its address: this is a common case for hosts connected via ppp or slip with dynamic IP allocation. With asp you can let others to find your host when it is on-line independently from your ISP; this result is obtained running a server (you can choose between the standalone server or the inetd ver- sion) on your host.
