So .. If I understand: You have a (example) T-1. Most of the time, you only
use 128k of it. So most of the time, the graphs look 'full'. All of a
sudden, you use the full capacity for 30 minutes. So now all of a sudden,
your graphs look like a 50 foot brick wall in the middle of the flatlands?

I'm guessing (and the experts could confirm) you COULD use maxbytes or
maxbits to max the value at say 128k. Again, I'm no expert, but this sounds
like it would work, and would be what it sounds like you want..
