I have an actiontec modem and with in the modem it has a web activity log. However this log can update ever 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds or ever minute. I would like to be able to read out whats with in this log and out put it to either a file or possibly to a database. Would this be possible?

The log is kept within a text box with text that looks like the following.

255.255.255.255 WEBADDRESS+255.255.255.255. WEBADDRESS+255.255.255.255 WEBADDRESS+ and so on. Does anyone know if what I want to do is possible? If so how?

I guess you need to explain more to get someone interested.

It depends if you can get to the modem. Can you access the modem as another 'virtual computer' ( like //modem/logs ), or can you get to it via a browser address?

The hard part, from what I'm seeing so far, is getting the log. The scheduling will be the easy part.

The way I currently access it is from http://IP_ADDRESS.

Extras type of information would help you out more?

Maybe you should ask manufacture, or Google using model name and "log" and other keywords.
And I don't think it's a safe thing to show the modem's log from out side.
If you do, you should be polling from your machine.
