NetAlert, from the AG Group, of Walnut Creek, California (415.937.7900), does exactly that. The only rub is that it hasn't yet been released. It's been scheduled to go on sale March first of this year, at $195 list. It has customizable alert dialogs and audible alarms for each network device. -Bill Woodcock BMUG NetAdmin _______________________________________________________________________________ 0000 : 0600 0800 7700 FE00 FF 0 FF8 7F 0 3 00 48 bill.woodcock.iv 0010 : CC00 7C00 0C00 1000 2800 440 8200 40 0020 : C000 4000 8000 C000 C 00 800 80 48 0 9 woody@ucscb.ucsc.edu 0030 : FF00 F000 7F80 CC00 CC 0 7 80 7 80 CC 6 0040 : CC00 7F80 9800 7800 CC00 CC0 CC 0 C 00 2355.virginia.st 0050 : CC00 CC00 FC00 CC00 CC 0 2000 10 0 7 00 C 0 0060 : CC00 CC00 CCC0 4800 2 00 1 00 2 00 48 0 9 berkeley.california 0070 : 4800 2400 1200 1000 2800 4 00 8 00 E0 0080 : 3000 6000 F000 6000 000 60 0 600 C0 0 01C 94709.1315 _______________________________________________________________________________
