There are any number of such utilities. A popular one is gkrellm, it can
monitor a lot more than just a 'net connection. If you're not using the
GNOME panel, you can't use its applets, but there are some simple ones
there if you do.

Otherwise, 'apt-cache search dockapp', pick and choose, play and poke.
