This isn't the perfect solution, but it's the best one I've found: PingPlotter.com Your data supplier should be able to give you a beacon server to ping (with Realtick it's Beacon.Taltrade.com) and this utility will monitor, graph and record the ping times once per second. My latency...

>True , but being in this business >20 years-no question suprises me! LOL. I know if your rates had really been priced at what you said they were you would have had a REALLY long line at your signup counter. :-) JB

>Our rates are .03 down to .0125 >cents per share. I think after your clarification, it's clear that your rates are .03 to .0125 *dollars* per share, not "cents". In terms of "cents", your rates are from 3.0 to 1.25 cents. I think we probably all knew this and the clarification was ask...

Don't go the show in Anaheim for the seminars...get a free pass to the exhibit floor and have fun just cruising the booths and chuckling at the crazy schemes for making money. I just love the guy in the cheap suit, bow tie and headset at the black box booth telling everyone over the $40 PA...

Dozu, As someone who has searched extensively for the same capabilities as you require, I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that you aren't going to find it at the capitalization level you are requesting (you're off by a multiple of about 40). There are few options in this area...
