NetTimer1.22 Rev 46

NetTimer is a small software application whose purpose is to help you monitor dial-up Internet connection and check out the time spent on it. The utility is able to keep an account of the phone bill and allows you to generate reports. It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there.

Look for the tool in the system tray

You can find NetTimer running quietly in the system tray. You can gain access to its set of configuration options by right-clicking on its tray icon. The configuration panel looks straightforward so you are not going to spend a lot of time tweaking the dedicated parameters.There’s also support for a help manual that you can have a look at, in case you do not manage to tweak the entire monitoring process on your own.

Keep an eye on dial-up connections

NetTimer offers you the possibility to check out the current status of your dial-up connection, namely details about the total bill for the current month, time, as well as connected or disconnected mode.What’s more, you are given the freedom to view usage details for the current month (time, total spent time, and bill), create an HTML report and preview it via your default web browser, as well as add a new record for an unmonitored session by providing information about the date, time (in hours and minutes), spent time, and bill.Other important configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to tweak the preferred currency, set up alerts with audio notifications when the month bill and time values are greater than custom ones, run the tool at Windows startup, keep monitoring data in the background after you exit, and stop the monitoring process.Tests have pointed out that NetTimer carries out a task quickly. It is not a resource hog so you may keep running it in the background without having to worry that it hampers your computer’s performance. However, the tool has not been updated for a long time so it may cause compatibility issues on newer operating systems like Windows 8 and 10.

Final remarks

To sum things up, NetTimer comes packed with several handy and smart features for helping you track of your dial-up Internet connections, and is suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
