Some of you may remember the fantastic work done by AwPhuch fs far back as August of 2004 to implement support for Nettraf, a combination of SW-daemon and TSR that sits on the windows system tray and displays a live graph of the bandwidth of the interface that you choose.

This was so useful that when I wasn’t sure of it working on SWE 3.0 I deferred upgrade for a very long time – finally wanting to upgrade to Gigabit Ethernet I performed testing on a trial system and bingo, it works on 3.0 using AwPhuch’s original implementation process and instructions.
The client application is very small and tells you either at a glance what is going through any particular NIC (or PPP interface), it can be easily modified to show the graphs for another NIC if you prefer. Personally I use it exclusively on the ppp0 interface as our 3rd world broadband means you have to be very careful not to saturate your link too much.
The initial how-to post seems to just work – I applied it after building the SWE 3.0 installation, registering, auto-applying patches 1-3, the only deviation I had was that the archive of the daemon that I had was only a “.gz” extension rather than the “.tgz” – everything else was straight forward and these areas don’t seem to have changed in SWE 3.0.
I’d like to again thank AwPhuch and the original thread posters and developers for this mod, it's well worth the effort to implement.
EDIT: The application for Windows, etc. should be available at http://nettraf.sourceforge.net/
[EDIT by wkitty42]
here are the v1.4 server and client files hosted on wkitty42's site.
the password to put in the client is 'smoothwall' (without the quotes).
