Re: great stuff

Hi Geo

Re C, the latest version of ntpd included in IPCop 2.0 can handle
intermittent connections, so it may not be of use to you as an indicator of
ADSL service. On a command line, issue the command ntpq -np to see the
status of the servers you are connected to.

You might need to write your own fcron heartbeat test script to log your
up/downtime, unless someone has already done so?
