[Elecraft] How reliable an internet connection is needed for A K3 remote to work well?

I recently started using the PingPlotter network monitoring software and find
it quite useful for keeping long term data in graph format of my packet loss
with Comcast. 

  http://www.pingplotter.com/ <http://www.pingplotter.com/>  

The Free version does not provide long term monitoring.  The Standard
version is reasonably priced (around $30 I think) but the 30 day trial is
fully functional.

I do not know how it would work with remote station hosts, if they behave
like a normal server or not.  But if not one could still use it to track
problems that are at the first few hops by monitoring other servers like
google etc.

You can display graphs for each hop in the path to the server.  It is much
easier to use than manual trace route and ping tests to each hop.

Almost all of my packet loss is at hop #2 which is the first node past my
router.
