Abstract

A report generation method and system in a networked computer system. The networked computer system has a shared modem pool, networked computers, and a server computer that is connected to the modems through physical ports and that is connected to the networked computers through a local area network. The reporting system produces reports about incoming calls received by the modems and transmitted to the server computer, about outgoing calls collected by the server computer from the networked computers and transmitted by the server computer to the modems, and about error conditions that arise in the system from modem-associated activities.
