Yes, the ones I write. You'd have to come and work for us first, although a long term ambition of mine is to provide some kind of online diagnostic tool for customers. I could fairly easily write one now that would detect your modem from your IP address and run some tests on it.

seriously BB?, i take it it would be IP based, if so, you can get some real nice looking gui's, and the scripts run on just about all popular OS , its rebol/view (carl of AmigaOS fame)based scripting, and that means small self contained and fast, plus has all the IP, TCP,UDP,and even multicast
,you might need/want
this simple GUI tool was made with Rebol/VIEW, infact its just a rebol script, he even included the windows Rebol exe with the script and wrapped it in a simple installer so you dont need to go get it yourself, very nice.

What can the SURFnet Network Detective do?
As a user, you can carry out various tests from your own PC with SURFnet Network Detective, in order to test your broadband connection. These tests relate to areas such as:
- IPv4 connectivity and multicast
- IPv6 connectivity
- speed of DNS
- broadband for TCP and UDP traffic
- presence of NAT
- connection to the SURFnet network
For users who are less technically minded, there are various handy tests, such as:
- What is the speed of my connection?
- Am I connected to the SURFnet network?
- Am I behind NAT?

give it a try and see if it suits your scripting style, and makes it easy to do what you want (if your a good coder/script writer).
you will probably need to adapt the script to the VM network and what you want to do.
BTW rebols free for personal use so you can just write the script and release it for users to install it as they please at no cost.
