I guess you really didn't read where I mentioned I was talking about
NetClarity. ;)

Well, I thought it was pretty selfexplanatory, but sometimes I don't hink
like other people do -- dunno.  To rephrase: It will show the "percent"
[I'm guessing as there is no real documentation on it...] of bandwidth
used by a particular interface.  It shows that information for the
ethernet connections - which is all well and fine, but it really should
show more than just a dead pulse for the ISDN connection - especially when
the traffic is about 90% according to the ALU and CLU... and I'm typing on
my shell via the internet routing done with the P75..
