Thanks a lot, ill definitely consider it.

Sina, I'd recommend using Zenoss to monitor the remote end of the link at least with /Status/Ping. You'll get alerts when Zenoss can't ping across the link, and may be able to set up SNMP traps on your router for the link itself going down. DISCLOSURE: I work for Zenoss, however I used Zenoss core long before they decided to pay me money. Good luck with dealing with your ISP, it's _ALWAYS_ a pain in situations like this.

Hi Everyone
Please I have a very problematic radio link which goes out and back on again every few hours. The only way I know this is happening is from my gateway device: a Sophos UTM that sends email anytime there's been an outage.
The ISP refuses to accept this as outage/instability proof, and I'm wondering if there's something I can run behind the gateway UTM that can provide output information over time. They seem to be a primarily Windows+Cisco shop (as is common here in the 4th world). We are primarily Linux. Is there some set of command incantations I can run who's output I can collect and send to them (besides some sort of sustained ping)?
Thanks in advance!
