Is NAD 2.2 capable of monitoring 56k modem traffic? The old freeware version detects dial-up traffic on the "Total Bytes" parameter and also "WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface". Thanks.

Stoob,

Thank you for writing us.
Yes, it does. It shows the modem connection as a separate adapter at the Filtering page of diagram properties dialog.

Sincerely,
Alexander.

Hello. Back to try v2 again. Still using v1.1 since my last post.

The "WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface" only shows up in standard mode.

Also, when NAD runs on windows startup, my 56k connection has not yet been established until I manually dial it. This places a red "X" in the tray graph which I thought was pretty cool. However, after connecting my 56k the red x never goes away. I have to restart NAD in order for it to detect the WAN interface. Is there any way to make NAD automatically detect that the modem interface has been connected? I can always just wait until after connecting to run NAD, but it would be nice to have it run on startup.

Thanks. This really is a great program.

STOOB :D

With v2.3.293, "Remote Access NDIS WAN Driver" is now an option when using "Smart Filtering System" as the statistics engine.

In "Standard" mode, the "WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface" still does not update the red "X" after connecting. I will be using "Smart Filtering System" now anyway.

When switching engines from Standard to Smart Filtering System I get the following error: "List index out of bounds (2)"

Then the mouse cursor changes to an hourglass and never goes away. The error occurs because in Standard mode I use "WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface" which isn`t an option in "Smart Filtering System" mode. In order to switch to Smart mode I have to first change any diagrams using WAN to something else. Instead, it should automatically upgrade any diagrams using the WAN adapter to the Remote Access NDIS WAN Driver.

Thanks.
