Rs-ux and rs-w are functionally identical programs for Linux and Windows. Their purpose is to monitor ADSL and VDSL2 connections using Broadcom-based modem/routers which have a fully functional telnet interface. The original purpose was to support the HG612 with unlocked firmware, but the programs will work with many other Broadcom-based modem/routers.
This version represents a formal v1.0 release. Compared to the previous v1.0-RC2 release there are two small changes:
- if Pause, Stop or Exit buttons are pressed during sampling, the response is delayed until the
sampling process is complete, to avoid possible lockup
- when saving snapshots, a check is made to ensure that the target directory exists and is
writeable, and an error is logged if not
The programs can be downloaded from https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0BxbUtOYVZ_SCZ1BnY3RKYnN2b1U/edit .
I've also put together a small website to support the programs at http://rsux.plainroad.me.uk
** Rather belatedly (sorry) I'd like to thank the various people who have tested rs-ux and rs-w, reported bugs, and made suggestions for improvement. It would have been a much poorer program without their help.

I tried to download this latest version of your router monitoring program and Firefox keeps telling me the link is not redirecting properly and never gets to the file. This may be tied up with the change to Google drive (?) or possibly due to me stubbornly still using FF 3.6. I downloaded the program some months ago and I don't recall a problem. That Version was rs-w32-0.4 and since that time i have had to replace my motherboard and reload my system which may mean some configeration is different. I suspect a silly at my end, can you help, please?

I'm afraid I don't have an explanation, Tony. I've tried the link with three different browsers, and they all connected properly. It's an https URL, so maybe http://docs.google.com/folder/d/0BxbUtOYVZ_SCZ1BnY3RKYnN2b1U/edit will work for you (although that seems to redirect to https:// anyway). If it continues to be a problem, I'll provide some other means of downloading it.

Using FF 17.1 on Linux I downloaded it just fine. Eric I did have a problem with Firefox and downloads early in the 0.9 release which I fixed but I cant remember what it was, although I did send you a PM about it I think (which I dont have a copy of). All I can suggest Tony is to clear Firefox cache and try again. Hopefully Eric will find my PM and it may help!

Ah yes, thanks Stuart, I remember it now. I don't expect you'll mind me quoting it in full:
Eric you may remember I was having problems with downloading the various updates because Firefox was complaining about re-direction problems, well I solved it by deleting all my cookies for my gmail account (which also had the problem) and now it all works. So if anyone else sees this it may be worth suggesting this as a fix.
-
Thank you for this release, Eric. It has been downloaded satisfactorily to The Cattery. :)

My Win 7 installation which has FF17 downloaded the page successfully so, since I tried all the other helpful suggestions without any joy, I think the FF version may be the problem or an addon I've not installed on win 7 perhaps. I will progress this another time and report later. I have to reinstall from a recovery partition my eldest daughter's Win 7 laptop (Compaq) which hasn't been useable since the last MS update. What with the vagaries of the recovery system and my unfamiliarity with Win 7 this task is taking me much longer than it should. The joys getting older (and older!)

I'm glad you've got it now, anyway.
I've set up an alternative download source at https://sourceforge.net/projects/rsux/files/

Getting "No DSL" warning and errors a per att. Have no idea what they mean.
Perhaps program is not suited to the TG582N? If so, pity!
-
I have a feeling that the TG582N lacks a usable telnet interface, but I may be wrong. That being said, I'm not happy to see the access violation. :(
Did you enter all the login details correctly (in particular, untick the option "Requires command to enter shell")?
-
You could well be right, as when you go to Routerstats' Router stats page you get "stats page not available view in web browser". Shell option was unticked.
So for now nothing better than Routerstats, which seems to be clunkier as time passes.
-
Having had a look around the 'net, I'm pretty sure that the telnet interface takes you to a custom CLI, not the Broadcom CLI which is needed for this program. So it does look as though I can't be any help to you unfortunately.
-
No matter :); my fault for having a that router! >:(
-
Many thanks for this nice software.
Is it possible to define another port to connect? IP:PORT seems not to be accepted.
-
Thanks for the comment. I'll have a look at using a different port optionally.
-
The next version (in a few days) will have the option to use a different port.
-
Thank you.
Maybe you can add a new stats command prefix. Some devices use "xdslctl info".

Thank you, I wasn't aware of that style of the command. I'll add it straight away.
What router(s) use that style?
-
I use a broadcom 6368 based device from motorola. I don't know which other devices use xdslctl too, but google finds quite a few results for it.
-
Thanks. I'll do a bit of Googling (which I should have done before).
