@johnson Many thanks for digging out those CLI magic runes for me. I find it difficult to find such things. (drugged up)
As for DSLstats I don't know anything about the tool but I'm assuming that it is either Windows or Linux-based or both, and don't have a suitable box up and running just now.
I am going to write a program for the iPad to massage some of the stats. If I can get the situation with SSH not working (believed to be because if the use of NAT) fixed then I can directly query the modems from my own new app on my iPad automatically I would write it in the WorkFlow programming environment because I don't speak Python, the other iPad scripting app development platform, and Workflow has almost all the necessary library functions, the one lacking, which I really need, is a telnet protocol library function. The current release version of Workflow speaks SSH but not telnet and only telnet works for me at the moment. Running a direct ethernet cable to the modem from the main switch and changing the modem’s admin ipv4 address should fix the SSH situation and give me more automation.
If I can ever get my iPad back up and running then that would be an ideal monitoring server.
