Internet Traffic Indicator

[Mustang64]

Here's a question from my bitter-half.

Why can't you have a little blinking computer icon thingy in the sys tray that indicates when there is network or WWW traffic?

What she is talking about is the picture of two computers "talking" that you find on many Winblow$ boxes. Anyone know of a usless little program for this? I think she likes to waste CPU cycles on fluff - but don't tell her that!

For KDE I know of http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12956
"KNemo - the KDE Network Monitor offers a network monitor similar to the one found in Windows. For every network interface it displays an icon in the systray."

I hope this helps.

I use
gkrellm, it shows ip, ppp, diskusage, cpu-temp... and a whole load more, just configure it and it wil show a graph of your usage.

I agree with 0Erjan.
Use Start->System->Kpackage to install it.

Gkrellm is uder the X11 category, the very last one.
Be sure you are on the NEW tab (default is the INSTALLED tab)

irt is actually included in the programmes that you can install via the penguin menu.
