[Tfug] Urgent: need to ID some Network Manager icons - STAT!

[Bowie J. Poag]

Install "iptraf". Its a nice nurses based network monitor. 

Make sure to tell iptraf in the config menu to use promiscuous mode. If those boxes are talking, you'll see who they're talking to.

To see precisely what they're saying, use tcpdump or ethereal.
