OK, so for a very long time now I wanted to write an application that could check multiple ADSL accounts and display whether or not they work, and if they do work, if they can access local or international traffic. This is very useful if you have to manage multiple ADSL accounts.

The application was only written in a day and I used the quickest way possible to create it. This is what the application does:

It reads account information from Excel or MS SQL Server and populates the list with accounts. It then automatically creates a Phone book Entry(PPPoE Connection) with the selected username / password and then see if it can connect with that criteria. If a connection is established, it checks whether it can access local or international traffic, or both.

In order for the application to work do need to be able to create PPPoE connections from your PC, in other works, your adsl modem should be in bridge or half-bridge/router mode

Currently it only works with a MS SQL Server Database, but it's very easy to implement it to read the data from Excel rather than from a MS SQL Server Database. I'll release both versions soon.

Source so we can verify it doesn't post the account info for "testing" purposes to some outside email address? ;)

lol... Sure I don't mind sharing the source as well. It's a VS2008 C# Project.

I'm assuming VB2008 should read VS2008.
Surely if an account has international access, it should also have a green tick for local, what was the thinking?

Yip it's C# :)

You will need .NET Framework 3.5 because I used LinQ. As I said, I didn't plan on releasing the app so I used to quickest route possible. And because I have MS SQL Server on my PC I used that to store the account details. But for most users excel will work beter...

I'm not sure if VB2008 will open the project as it's a C# project, not a VB project.

You are correct, if the account has International access, it will also display green on inside the local column. The image was not real time, it was only generated as an example... I can't make pppoe connections from work so I read predefined data from the Database. But you are correct yes...

I'm not sure If I want to go through all the trouble to create the excel version, maybe someone else can use the source to create it, im sure others would appreciate it.

I just want to add a few more stuff to the application. I will release the MS SQL Server version with source tomorrow. The application does work great, I'm using it at the moment and works quite well :) :rolleyes:

If you can send me the code, I could have a look at it, but you will need to explain the details to me :)

You so lazy... :D
 
Nice app, but pffft... who would have so many accounts and not know their usage? :O quite a giveaway what nature of accounts are going to be used here, but hey it's not like the app is going to change that anyway :P

I'm not sure what you are trying to insinuate but as I said, it's for managing multiple accounts. It's not for your everyday user, more for people who manage several adsl accounts, so keep your accusations to yourself okay!
