Re: Lets create an FAQ for hnFAPMon
said by millham  :... 1) What is hnFAPMon? ... I'm better at writing code than documentation... Then how about something like...
...only in Perl.
Here's the best I could come up with:
If you're a HughesNet satellite internet customer, you're subject to their Fair Access Policy (FAP). If you download more than your plan allows within a certain length of time, your download speed will be reduced to less than the speed of dial-up for the next 24 hours. So how do you know how much you've downloaded and how close you are to going over the FAP limit when HughesNet doesn't tell you? hnFAPMon will show you how close you are to the FAP limit along with other useful information such as signal strength, current and average upload and download speeds, and any problems your modem may be experiencing. The hnFAPMon Client is the portion of the program that displays all of that information on your screen. The hnFAPMon Service gathers the information from the modem and sends it to the Client. If you only have one computer connected to your modem you'll need both Client and Service installed on your computer. If you have multiple computers connected to your modem through a network, you'll need to install the Service on one computer and install the Client on all of your computers, but even if a computer on your network doesn't have the Client installed, that computer's downloads are still monitored by the Service as they pass through the modem.
