Here is a perl script which I have been using for several weeks. It will look at all the DSP modems in the chassis and will create a web page which lists the modems, calls taken, calls failed, and the failure ratio. It also uses NTsendmail to alert you if there are modems which match failure criteria. I use 15% failure rates with at least 20 failures. It will send you an email telling you the pop/chassis , slot and modems which are failing. It also generates a web page which you can refer to. I have the script running every 30 minutes.

Fortunately it does seem that simply resetting the modem in TCM 'fixes' it, but we don't fix it before we get a call or two of 'no answer modem'. Anyone running any kind of script/log analysis that finds no answer modems? I also had a fellow from 3Com show me an "Autoresponse" trick to reset the modem automatically if it got a no answer. I've since forgotten how, and not really sure if that'd really do the trick anyway. And it would be mighty tedious to set all our ports for this. SMT Scott M.
