Netgear works well with Routerstats (on a PC)

As in monitor the line stats and create graphs?
Not sure, but I'm not aware of any.

It is possible to track and graph results with the BTHH2 with a dedicated Linux-based box like this, but is likely not practical for your purposes.

MRTG can be run on a MAC.

But won't be able to access the BTHH2, as Telnet is not possible and no SNMP.

Yet that is what it is. Odd.

Oh, hang on

1. wget retrieves the page with the stats we are looking for (in my case Signal to Noise ratio and Downstream Power level)
"-O -" option pipes it to the next program
2. grep is used to select the line(s) having the selected pattern
3. awk selects the required string
4. Next grep selects the line we wanted (the first grep actually gets two lines0
5. Finally sed selects just the number part of the string for mrtg to process

It's actually a 'mod' for Smoothwall.

I wrote the perl script for the BTHH2, which uses the web interface.

So you should know it uses MRTG

It doesn't...

RRDtool / MRTG same difference

RRDtool 'merely' (in the politest possible sense, as it's actually pretty comprehensive) creates graphs from data.
MRTG uses SNMP traps to gather data from IP devices, which it then passes to RRDtool to present in graphical format.

The mod I referred to earlier doesn't use MRTG, but it does use RRDtool to create the graphs.
The 'data gathering' part is bespoke though, although like MRTG, is also perl based.
