My DSL line is regularly dropping. I'd like to monitor it.
Right now I am using "PuttyTel" to log in on my monitor and use a command to get the history of connects/re-connects.
It gets me the date/time (but also some additional info like download/upload speed, signal ratio, bla bla).
However, PuttyTel closes after a very short while and I would need to launch it and or do the command each time over and over
to keep it open.
Using a texteditor I 're-work' the PuttyTel log file to:
Aug 20 15:43:57 up (down: 6150 kbit/s, up: 1029 kbit/s; snr Margin Down: 7.5 dB, Up: 10.0 dB)
Aug 20 15:50:07 down
Aug 20 15:50:26 up (down: 6150 kbit/s, up: 1029 kbit/s; snr Margin Down: 7.5 dB, Up: 10.0 dB)

Aug 20 16:18:21 up (down: 6150 kbit/s, up: 1029 kbit/s; snr Margin Down: 7.5 dB, Up: 10.0 dB)
Aug 20 16:02:52 down
Aug 20 16:03:10 up (down: 6150 kbit/s, up: 1029 kbit/s; snr Margin Down: 7.5 dB, Up: 10.0 dB)
Most network tools are either way too complex / offer way too much features for this simple thing.
Or the data is presented in graphs (I'd like to have it in a text/html/csv file)
Am looking for a simple freeware tool, that simply records when the line is down and up again.
The only tool I have found sofar is "Internet Connectivity Monitor" v.1.41, which records everything, i.e. the pings every 5 seconds.
(I only need date/time the line is up and same when it is down)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
