[EdLUG] network connection through Wine

[Alistair]

I have an intermittently unreliable ADSL connection and I am trying to record 
various properties to help resolve the issue.
My preference would be to continue using one of my OpenWRT modem/routers, but 
I cann't fathom how to do it.
I think I  have one Broadcom based modem/router which should work with 
DSLstats so I will try that.

Regards,

Alistair
