Here what is NEW in this latest version of NetMonitor 2.5:

Better NT support 

Sizeable Windows (notice the little arrows for each section of NetMonitor -- Internet Info, Connection and Website Statistics). By clicking on the arrows, you can minimize each section separately to give yourself a little more desktop space. 

Right Click MENU - right click anywhere on NetMonitor and the main menu appears 

TrueSpeed HTML Report - See a historical graph of your TrueSpeed tests...try it you'll like it! 

Proxy Server support has been added (right click on NetMonitor to select your Option settings). 

ToolTip display. Put your cursor over the icon in the System Tray to see A.) Bytes sent and received OR B.) Your modem connection speed OR C.) Your IP address. 

Activity lights have been added to the NetMonitor System Tray icon to report back TCP/IP Internet activity. 

NetMonitor can synchronize your PC's system clock to the Internet Atomic clock so that the date and time stamps on your data files are always correct! 

Click on the "URL" button to have NetMonitor do a lookup on the registered owner of the website to which you are connected. A second button for the "# of Hops" does an actual Tracer Route showing which routers and servers you went through to get there. 

Skin Support (customize the look and feel of the NetMonitor interface) 

Optimization reminders 

Monitor your Vital Internet connection and get specific connection statistics that you'll find indispensable.

If you are tired of having a slow Internet connection;  if you find yourself in a tizzy when the connection is at a crawl;  if you've been told by your ISP that their connection is the fastest around, no matter how many people are using their service at once;  if you expect your 56k modem to connect at 56,000 kps but most of the time this isn't achieved;  what can you do about it?

These questions can be answered with our exclusive and FREE NetMonitor.  With NetMonitor you'll get an array of information and vital statistics to give you a better hold on what's happening with your Internet connection.

NetMonitor is a small application that monitors your Internet connection. It shows kilobytes received and sent and graphically represents your transfer rate in real time. It also features a keep alive function that prevents your ISP from pulling the plug on you for inactivity, and allows you to conduct a simple test to determine your connection speed. NetMonitor is very attractive, easy to use, and -- best of all -- it's free.

Net Monitor is just one of the many components in our popular Modem Wizard (advanced mode) program.  As you'll soon see, it allows you to check under the hood of your Internet connection and see exactly what is going on.   Get specific Internet statistics and information like: 

The actual URL (website) you are at and it's associated IP (Internet Protocol) address 
The # of Internet Hops (servers) it took you to get to the site 
The IP address that your ISP has assigned you 
Your connect speed and data transfer rate 
A graphical display (like an EKG) of bytes coming and going cross your Internet Connection. 
TrueSpeed™

Each time you dial-up and connect to the Internet, the actual speed is based on a number of factors, including your modem's baud rate, Telco line quality and the capacity of your Internet provider. Modem Wizard's TrueSpeed feature tells you the exact speed of your Internet connection!
