Network monitor program, somewhat similar to the packet counter in solaris perfmon, only it shows bytes rather than packets, has no scale, and puts your network interface into promiscuous mode in order to show you stats on every machine on your segment (and so of course only works on non-switched networks).

Once installed, run "nettether" to scale bars based on 10 megabit ethernet (full bar is 100% of ethernet bandwidth) or "nettppp" to base it on 56k modem bandwidth. For other values, modify the source.
