[WBEL-users] ADSL monitoring program?

[Sharon Kimble]

I'm having such problems with my providor [i.e. the connection suddenly
dying, sometimes in the middle of something!] that I'm now looking for
a program/script that can run in the background monitoring the
connection and emailing me if/when it goes down so that I can then
record the time of the outage, and then perhaps getting some recompense
from my providor. But, I don't know what to google for or the name of
any program. Can anyone help/advise please?

Sharon.
