Ping monitor

I'm looking for a free product that will ping a device on my network 1 to 3 times per min and keep a log of down time.  Do you guys have any good recommends?

I'm trying thedude first and so far it is doing what I need it to.  I'll try the others as well to see which I like best after I get the current connection problem out of the way.  

Thanks aparan62 for the french answer!!!  I've never got a non English response before.  For that I'm raising the point value so you can have a few as well :-).  I used the translator at dictionary.com to find out what you were saying.  I think that you want to know how to insert a pause into a batch file.  My favorite way to do that is with a ping.

ping -n x 127.0.0.1

where x=number of seconds of pause, because there is one second between pings.  Also if you don't want to see the ping results, end the command with > null

I was actually thinking of a batch file solution in the beginning, but didn't know how to log the times that the ping failed, which is an important part of it.  

But I'm very glad to find TheDude which will also help me to monitor my entire network in the future as well as this one link that needs immediate attention.  Thanks Pete!!!
Np  Thanq :)
