  • "Eicon NetworksLAN_DAEMON" can run at start up. Associated with an Eicon Networks ISDN or ADSL modem. Watch protocols your connection with numbers and duration. You need callvu.exe (from Start Menu) to see your connection statistics. You can manually start watch.exe before you go online.

  • "Restart Watch": Associated with an Eicon Networks Diva ISDN or ADSL modem. What does it do and is it required?
