If I find the time to put together a spreadsheet that analyzes the log file
I'll make it available here. If you have developed an analyzer, please send me a copy
by
e-mail so that I can make it available
to other users as well. Thx in advance.
If you need a tool that analyzes the performance of your Internet connection
(real-time!) you should try DialUpMonitor
(this is also Freeware!).
