Take the 2-minute tour ×  For the second time, I'm outsourcing
my VOIP hosting to a provider, whom I have to trust their sales
pitch of 45 minutes down per 365 days. Is there an automated way
I can test their server(s) without having to make a telephone
call every couple hours & log it? I'm thinking something like a
'ping' would be nice, that I could generate from a Linux script.
Any ideas?  I'll be depending on them for my business, so I
don't want to get blindsided by clients who say they can't reach
me.  share|improve this question  migrated from superuser.com

internally during the evaluation period and make your decision
based on the results? You could use any of these tools.
