Or if the computer is on LAN, you could just "sniff." It shows the deamon/port on the local server, the remote IP, UDP or TCP, sent and rec. packets, and socket activity.. that sort of stuff. Unfortunately it's only text base and doesn't log, just dumps to the screen every second. Would like to know of a good alternative, i.e. a graphical monitoring system w/logging. no sniffers. -jp At 09:54 PM 1/14/98 -0500, you wrote: >Can someone recommend a good/reliable package to monitor the status >(ftp, http, smtp, pop3, system load) of a remote site?
