Hrm... Ntop actually looks closer to what i need than the rest. I have some limitations (not all hardware supports anything other than "just working") that force me to be 100% passive, which is why i liked ntop. Also, i am running under linux (prtg is windows). Is it impossible to configure ntop to look at interfaces for statistics rather than hosts?
