No, those are actually from the v1.3 version of intop...  You can get similar stuff from the web pages today.  And a whole lot more and much more flexibility in reporting.  .  It's also perfectly possible to build micro-ntop and use it as a collector into a mySQL database for off-line analysis.   Lots of unix tools can't be used from the command line.  RedHat Source Navigator for one...   -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: Glastris, Jonathan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 5:31 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Ntop] ntop on VT100 Thanks!!!  So those screen shots I saw with all those columbs of sent/received packets and their source/destination hosts was from the web page, not the vt100 terminal...  Hmm, what kind of UNIX tool can't be used from the CLI...   -----Original Message----- From: Burton M.
