Thanks, I'll investigate these. > Having SNMP support on your ADSL modem/router would make the task of > monitoring it easier. and G T Smith wrote: > If you have an ADSL router they usually include a logging facility of > some sort.

But I'll see what it offers as well. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
