What I do, is use a perl sysinfo script, (http://www.geocities.com/h2g2_jimmiejaz/sys0pl.txt) just rename it to sys.pl and chmod 755 (runs in console, or irc as /exec -o ... The only problem with it is, if you reboot, it wipes the buffers of the info... The relevent lines are. (I'm using straight ppp, so you'd have to change tun0 to your device, and count the correct portion of netstat -i -n -b for this part.. head -n1 | awk '{print \$10}') It might not be excatly what you need, but it can give you an idea of what your transfer rate is, in and out) This is how it looks: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FreeBSD 4.9-PRERELEASE | Sound: AudioPCI ES1373-B at /dev/pcm0 | Memory: 167 of 257 mb (65%)| Disk Usage(ad0): 2.0 of 6.8 gb (29%) | GFX: 1280x960 @ 24, bpp | Net: I/O: tun0 In: 27.50M Out: 4.09M | Uptime: 13:03, 6 users, load averages: 2.71, 2.73, 2.78 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
