When using modern SoGo A/DSL routers, most devices do have fancy GUIs and information screens about the settings of the device and especially the line quality, like SNR, dampening et cetera.
In my private office, I've setup a FreeBSD server acting like a gateway/router, replacing my oldish non-IPv6 capable ADSL modem/router. Using a secondary NIC connecting to the ADSL modem via PPPOED, I'd like to read some of the important statistsics from the device's chipset like line quality informations. Sometimes our line here go bad and with the setup at the moment, I can not check what's wrong. Also, I have no informations about the actual up- and downstream speed, which is also important to me. Since most professional/commercial ADSL routers/modems use opensource software, most prefereably Linux, I was wondering if there isn't a way to achieve those data from FreeBSD as well. I prefer the system's tools in favour over a port installation, but if there is a sophisticated software, I would appreciate a hint or tip. Thanks, Oliver P.S.
