Using the Quote Tool

Top  Previous  Next

Quote is a network tool that lets you view quotations from a remote Quote server. Quote servers often display a "quote of the day".

You can use the Quote tool to identify if a host is "alive".

To use the Quote tool, do the following:

1.Select the Quote tab.

 

2.Enter in the Server text box the host name or IP address of the remote Quote server.

 

The drop-down list shows the previous host names or IP addresses you have queried.

 

3.Click the Start button.

 

The Quote client establishes a connection with the remote Quote server and displays a random quote in the Response area. If the specified host does not have a Quote server, the Quote client displays the message:

No server found there.

Tip: You can right-click the Response area to display the pop-up menu.
