IP listening

[Alan E. Davis]

I am also interested in starting to understand what is going on, what my
machine has going in and out on / from the network. I found a package of
tools---netdiag.

I must admit, I don't understand what they do. I would appreciate assistance
in understanding their use?

trafshow was "interesting."

I was accused of sucking bandwidth on our T1 or better line at my school,
when I haven't been able to even get through a "apt-get update" even once in
an 8 hour day. I look forward to the dial up at home! trafshow listed a
number of ip addresses on our local network (connected to the Inet by a
firewall) with traffic to my machine. It MIGHT be useful. ??
