Monitoring internet connections...

[ddrueding]

Right now I'm having some connection issues on some of my T1s. On one of my other screens I have 6 DOS windows open with "ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -t" running to various internet links, monitoring dropped packets and fluctuating latency.

Is there a program out there that could do a better job for this task?

Nah. I hate apps that say "look what we can do for you! Just spend tons of money, several hours setting it up, and another week learning how to use it!".

I'm sure it is good at what it does, but I don't think I want all that.

Our Tech Support team provided a link to a free tool that they often recommend to customers for short tests. Link from our site is: http://www.symantec.com/connect/downloads/network-performance-measurement-tool

The company that created the tool is AppCritical, and tool is called Standalone Sequencer (sas).

Maybe this will provide enough info for your need?
Best,
