Hi All,

Although Arachne can perform excellent on ADSL I have a problem in
connecting Arachne to the DSL since my provider offers DAIL-IN ADSL.

If the dail-in ADSL line is opened Arachne runs on the internet at a
very high speed, but the line has to be opened with a windows computer 
since the router/modem (Thomson brand) forwards a string of Java Script
to the computer. That string is answered by the computer back to the
modem with the "open connection" command.

Arachne can not handle JS and therefore is not generating that "open
connection" command that contains most likely: username, password??, 
ISP and ???? 

It seems to me that the "open connection" string can be given by any
computer, thus by Arachne too, but how to know the content of the
"open connection" string?
As a windows computer does enter the string to the LAN (modem/router) it
must be possible to capture it.
It would be nice if Windows could capture all outgoing signals to the
LAN... but I can't find a logprogram in Win98 or WinXP... neither an
extern program to do this.

But how about Arachne? Can something be created to have a litteral dump
of the traffic on the LAN-card? After all she does something like that
with incomming mail or browsing the internet.
Internal filters are used to separate mail from webpages or FTP
connections. Would it be possible to switch off those filters and have a
litteral log file?

This may result in a tool detecting faults in LAN connections too.

Please think about this, Bastiaan
