That takes me back. I used iptraf all the time, when I was maining Debian/Ubuntu. It was very useful for tracking the rate at real time, as opposed to other similar (Web) services like speedtest.net. Now that I main OpenBSD, I use iftop instead, though I miss iptraf's other features. I only once met Gerard, at the 2005 LinuxWorld. If I ever meet him again, I'd buy him a beer or two for his great software. -- Zak B.
