Jan,

Thanks for your suggestion! But I don't have a win32 computer on that
DSL-line, only FreeBSD and OpenBSD servers. So this win32 programme
does me no good.

Indeed, I want to monitor rather small intervals, and have proof that
the line is used at ~100% when it is for a period of around 30 or 60
seconds (i.e. the time it takes to download around 11,25MB or 22,5MB
at full speed respectfully), so 1 minute interval would be all right,
but 5 minute interval is just too broad for this home 3.0/512 ADSL
line to catch the peak usage.

Cheers,
Constantine.
