If one of the 'bing' points is on your machine/router - look at the MRTG port (/usr/ports/net/mrtg). If it's not on your machine you could still customize MRTG to track it, but remember 'bing' results vary wildly at the best of times (and on a loaded link it's even worse) = not a very accurate/reliable way of tracking bandwidth... :( -Kp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
