Publisher's description of Ping Plotter Freeware
From Nessoft:If your Internet connection has suddenly slowed to a crawl, chances are there's a ping test in your future. You could use the built-in Windows ping command to trace your packets across the Web, but why not try Ping Plotter Freeware instead? Unlike some of its snazzier competitors, it doesn't draw your packets' route on a world map, but it does provide a color-coded chart that lets you instantly spot bottlenecks in your connection. You can set the monitoring period and the interval between pings, and save the results as plain text or as a snapshot of the program window. Ping Plotter Freeware is a natural choice for sysadmins who would normally use Windows Ping, but it's also a good choice for occasional home troubleshooting.

Version: Ping Plotter Freeware 1.1
Pros: -none-
Cons: As far as I can tell, this software fails to create a legal file name for the log file and has no chance of working. I was left hoping that I did nothing else.

Version: Ping Plotter Freeware 1.1
"Simple, quick, easy, a no-brainer"
Pros: 1) The price.
2) It's all up front, everything you want is presented in one nice little package.
3) Ping and trace in one step. I haven't used DOS to do either since I got this program.
Cons: If anything, and this is really being trite, the graph output is so straight forward and simple, it's kind of ugly. I remember Visual Trace (back before McAfee bought it, tweaked it, then charged for it) did what this does except it also gave you a cool geographical representation of the route. Other than that, this program rocks out loud!

Version: Ping Plotter Freeware 1.1
"Very Useful to see network delays/loss"
Pros: It is free, it showed me where packets were lost and delayed. I suspect the paid version is great, but did not need to buy it. I would buy it if I dealt with network throughput all day.
Cons: Logging is reserved for the paid version, but that is a good marketing decision.
