intend to package xnet
Xnet is a graphical application to control the main operations of a
PPP networked Linux box: establishing or interrupting the PPP link and
displaying whether the user mail spool is empty or not. When a PPP
link is active, the time elapsed since the beginning of the
communication is displayed, as well as the IP address of the host on
the PPP interface. Xnet also displays the rx and tx rates (in
bytes/second) of the data through the PPP interface.
It assumes that the systems already have shell commands that
establish/shut down a PPP connection.
Xnet consists in six graphical elements:
* Mail indicator: displays whether new mail has come or not
* Start PPP button: activates the PPP communication
* Stop PPP button: stops the PPP communication
* Communication indicator: displays the time elapsed since the
beginning of the PPP communication, or "Not connected" if no
connection is established
* Internet address indicator: displays the internet address of
the host for the PPP interface.
* Rx/Tx rate indicator: displays the bytes/second of data transferred
through the PPP interface.
