Dave - just curious. I'm looking at this as something beyond personal use. We have 2 or 3 customers at work that routinely complain about their DSL service. We suspect it is a line issue but we have no way to prove that. One of the staff is going to bring the GT701 in later this week and we are going to install the script and see what we can learn from it. We are curious to see if we can deploy it on a test modem in the field as a means to gather more info. If the unit could email the data directly to use that would be the ideal solution. We could then correlate its data with what we see from our monitoring software.
