Desmond,


        Much better!  ;')   


        I think that for your size environment you have a lot of options,
I'd really look at Big Brother, www.bb4.com, it's a cool tool and free.


        You may want to look for MRTG instead or in addition to BB, MRTG is
good at traffic reports, BB is good at system stuff.



Kevin
