[X4U] Testing conection

[Jan Melichar]

I'm living with a long term problem with the internet connection at  
my office - connection keeps dropping. I have have had a lot of  
visits from telephone engineers who tell me that I have a very good  
quality line but the line keeps dropping. :Last week I was told that  
a circuit at the exchange has been changed and I have to say the  
connection seems to be better but my 'ultimate' test is streaming  
radio which keeps loosing connection with monotonous frequency (this  
very rarely happens to me at home with the same ISP, router and  
similar Mac setup and same radio station- yes I have tried different  
pouters and the problem is the same)

I realise the problem could be with the BBC servers or the radio  
stations connected via iTunes and any number of other things (even  
though I do not get the same problem at home) so what I would like to  
be able to do is have some means whereby I can monitor more  
effectively whether I have a connection or not and that this can be  
documented.Anyone with any suggestions on how this might be done.
