Just a few pointers you may wish to investigate. You could try using a network monitoring tool such as Nagios (<http://www.nagios.org/>) or a logging and graphing tool such as rrdtool (<http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/>). Both are provided as RPM packages on OpenSuSE. Having SNMP support on your ADSL modem/router would make the task of monitoring it easier. HTH Cheers. Bye. Ph.
