Simple text mode network speed graph program


Hi,
I used to use a simple console program all the time that showed the speed of my network connections (you could choose either one or more network interfaces at once, and switch an optional graph on and off)

But I seem to have forgotten its name. And searching google only brings up fairly heavyweight web based monitoring systems..

Can anyone remember the name of what I am thinking of or any similar tool?

Thanks

Many distros have this ingegrated, try in console write "iptraf", if there is not, you can download and compile it.
