Yes, try ntop: this is a _really_ nice tool, there is also a
"html-mode", so you can look at it with your webbrowser. Moreover it
evolves very quickly, every month there seems to be some nice new
features. The only disadvantage ist that ntop loses all information when
you restart it although you hopefully do not need to do so. Besides that
you cannot use it on isdn lines.
Moreover I have written a python script that parses your
/var/log/messages file for firewall access violations and displays it in
nice html.

Hmmm, to bad they did not "invent" a shared memory concept as the
minimal requirements for W2k are 128MB RAM...
But there is still hope for Windows 2010 ;-)
A more on-topic question: I heard rumors that with Windows NT SMP only
one processor can do I/O, is that true?
