We use a T1 to connect to are central office via frame relay. At times are network performance is really slow. Does anyone know a good monitoring tool that keeps track of your network speed and logs it. We would like to keep a watch on it "Real Time".

Dependant upon your router, they keep statistics. Cisco router are obviously the best. With these statistics you will be able to see whether the router is keeping up, and whether or not there are packet/routing problems.

Another option is to contact your Frame-Relay provider and have them run some checks, and check to see that the CIR (Committed Information Rate) is at a level that you ordered. If so, they will run some diags for free. And will be able to monitor the performance real time aswell.

Another option is to put a Frame-Relay-capable sniffer onto the line. Some of these require special hardware other than the NIC.
