Internet Control Center -- Internet Control Center (ICC) allows you to run all of your favorite winsock apps (up to 12) from one central toolbar manager. This client gives you the ability to quickly launch and switch between 'net apps, while using a minimal amount of system resources and desktop space. You can even instruct ICC to connect to your provider and launch apps upon start-up. ICC will automatically connect you to the internet via Trumpet, Chameleon, a LAN connection, ISDN, or any of a number of additional options. Even connecting via NetDial will work (although I couldn't get an automatic disconnection to work with NetDial). Any archie, WWW, mail, newsreader, ftp, gopher, or other 'net app can be launched via ICC. ICC recently added on-line help documentation to its already intuitive and extremely easy to use interface. ICC has several advantages over WSTBar, including the ability to load up to six apps upon start-up (compared to one in WSTBar), toggle off/on 'always on top', and a button for switching quickly from one app to another. However, it does lack the ability to use icons to represent apps, a resizable toolbar, and it costs about twice as much. Overall, ICC easily automates the very routine and often boring task of waiting for a connection to the 'net and then having to manually launch several apps, with the advantageous result of having more time to spend actually cruising the 'net. Pros: Efficient management of internet apps via a toolbar, automatic launching of 'net apps Cons: Toolbar isn't resizable, wouldn't automatically disconnect for NetDial New: On-line help; new button for quickly switching from one app to another Version Reviewed: 1.22 Date of Review: 12/7/95 Reviewer: Forrest Stroud apps conference Main Menu
