Perhaps use the usual methods: man/info google www.debian.org www.tldp.org I am not that familiar with FreeBSD, but I'm sure there are documents / arcticles out there that describe these differences somewhere on the web. These questions aren't specific for Debain, and certainly not ISP related as such. I assume you are trying to get some information for some monitoring / graphing software together..

Your friend here is probably /proc. Most information can be found there. I believe it's similar to the sysctl on FreeBSD, but I haven't used that in about 4 years. In particular you might find this helpful: cat /proc/net/dev | grep eth0 That will print the number of bytes in and out. These could also be used netstat -i ifconfig eth0 With a bit of grep and awk you can pull information from these commands. I'm sure there are loads of others if you have a look at the above mentioned sources. > > Thanks. > Regards, > Rudi. > > -- > Internet Media Productions > > -- Tor
