Monitor was designed to verify the status of your connection to the internet. Originally intended for use with the 3Com OfficeConnect Remote Dual Analog router, it can also be used by other routers equipped with a console (serial) port.
When started, Monitor will minimize itself and place an icon in the taskbar. Moving the mouse over the Monitor icon will show what % the failure meter is currently at. Right-clicking the icon will allow you to bring up the main program screen.
