That's OK, I've mostly got it figured out. Having many (10+) tabs open in
Firefox is the main culprit, especially when some of those pages refresh.
I don't trust Yahoo mail anymore, even though I close that tab. mc seems
to use bandwidth for something too.
I've got pktstat running now, I like systat too and pftop. tcpdump -n is
pretty noisy, with some intentional download with wget going on.

The suggestion on this thread are interesting. But tcpdump -n is pretty
manageable over a modem link and shows you exactly what you want to know, not
just a summary of it.

I'm on a modem, so there's only about 3 K/sec anyway, but is there
anything that'll show me at least pids of what's using bandwidth?
I've learned to close Firefox and even mc sessions I'm not using,
and I'm watching a wget download and pftop and "netstat -b -I tun0
-w 1".
I've got it under control right now by shutting off my wireless
access point because my Kindle Fire was talking to s3.amazonaws.com.
Poking around in userland ppp sources I see something called
netgraph. B How do I use that and what does it do?
