getting network transfer rates

["Michael P. Soulier" <msoulier@storm.ca>]

    Hey people. Is there a way that I can get the current network transfer
rates, through both my dialup ppp0 interface, and the eth0 nic interface? I've
seen the occasional tool to show this, but I'd like to know where they're
getting their data from and maybe hack something myself. Perhaps somewhere on
the /proc filesystem?

    Mike
