It's a fantastic tool, especially for recording and graphing historical
information. Being the foundation of MRTG, and subsequently Cricket, Cacti,
and a ream of other monitoring and pseudo-monitoring tools, it's fairly
prevalent, and immensely useful.

can churn out a set of templates for the new SpeedTouch modems to make this a
little simpler. GNet modems will have to wait; I accidentally pilfered my
power supply for parts about a month back, and I need to find a new one.
