It's several minutes thru my modem connection, and the icewm ppp traffic meter is still quite high even though my wwwoffle fetch is over, noffle is over, exim, fetchmail are over, and mozilla is quiet.
How frustrating not to know what all they bytes streaming into my computer are all about, or if I can hang up the phone yet before another coin drops, or might I truncate some file that I am waiting on and have forgotten. Is netstat -a the ultimate tool in this case? If so, is there a script that will take lines like tcp 0 1 TC210-203-44-79.3:33519 159.226.154.64:www LAST_ACK and I suppose delve into /proc/ to dreg up some human readable synopsis of what that connection is all about. Yes, any tool to give all the details in a verbose untruncated human format about what the heck each connection, or just the hottest connection is all about? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
