I've been playing around with this and it looks like an interesting tool to
help achieve good connections for online ***:

Pro Pinger -- The Gamers/Monitors Connection Tool
VIPERSOFT Pro Pinger V2.0.11 is a program that allows for monitoring of
internet connections and quality of those connections. This program pings
the IP/DNS numbers about once a minute. This program was designed and
developed by Paul Graham and conceived by Don Wilshe.
There are many uses for this program, such as:
1). Auto Racing - NASCAR 3, Burnout, Powerslide, Formula 1, GP 500.
Have you ever wanted to go NASCAR3 racing and wasnt quite sure where the
racing would be best for you? Well we have a solution for you and its called
ProPinger. Now you can load up all the NASCAR 3 racing servers and knows in
advance who has the quality connections for you. You can also monitor the
connection over days or weeks and see a history of the service. Now you dont
have to get warpped anymore.
One of the biggest problems when racing on-line is stale data. If you are
going 200mph in a corner side by side. You have to know that that car is
where you think it is. If you have a poor conenctions you can suffer and
wreck alot of people, not good. Also in games like drag racing where
reaction times and line quality are critical to good competitions. Now the
Race Admins have the abiliity to look at the group of racers and
pre-determine if someone has a bad connection or must reconnect. Now the
admin has a tool to DQ the bad apples so to speak. Now the admins can see if
you are coming from AOL!!!
2). Shooters - Quake, Descent, Rainbow Six, etc.
One of the common complaints when people get into these kinds of contest is.
Well the reaason i didnt do well against you is because you had a T-1. When
you are ready to battle we have a simple solution now. All the competitors
in the clans run this program. That way you will all know the connection
quality between competitors. If you have a marginal connection to a player,
you might have someone else in the clan take him on.
3). Site monitoring
Although this program was designed for TCP *** and their related line
quality connections. We are finding applications now for monitoring IP
accross the net. If you want to make sure your web sites are available to
the public, now you have a tool. Im sure a logging version will be available
or could be soon.

learning every day new things about how to use and improve it. Any
