Jan, Thanks for your suggestion! But I don't have a win32 computer on that DSL-line, only FreeBSD and OpenBSD servers. So this win32 programme does me no good. Indeed, I want to monitor rather small intervals, and have proof that the line is used at ~100% when it is for a period of around 30 or 60 seconds (i.e. the time it takes to download around 11,25MB or 22,5MB at full speed respectfully), so 1 minute interval would be all right, but 5 minute interval is just too broad for this home 3.0/512 ADSL line to catch the peak usage. Cheers, Constantine. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/lsg2.cgi
