I have configured software for a client that reads the internet log, but I believe it can be configured for others. AWSTATS is the name of the freeware. It is written for Linux, but there is a Windows flavor too.

The combination of the EVDO card and the router has been somewhat flaky. Recently I discovered that there are things to be learned through monitoring the log file from the device. The current firmware in the router has no provision to export the log so I am stuck with copying multiple screens to the Windows clipboard and placing them in a Word document if I want to keep a record of the various system states. >> >> I believe it should be possible to write code in VFP to log into the router, select the Status page, the Log page, and finally each individual page in the log.

What would I do - attempt a telnet connection to the IP sddress of the router? The help system on the router (Kyocera/D-Link KR1) indicates there is a way to Email the log file somewhere but tech support admits that feature isn't available. What I really want is to have the system update a remote log file line by line as events occur as this give a record of what lead up to a reboot which wipes out the log file. I'll definitely try the telnet approach when I get a chance.
