etherape alternatives

[Tom Allison <tallison@tacocat.net>]

I really like etherape and was going to install it onto a small box I 
have been working on.

But when I came up with 39MB of additional packages, including esound et 
al I thought there might be an alternative.

I have no speakers or anything else on this box.  It's likely to be a 
headless server in a week.  Is there something "lighter" than etherape 
that would still show similar information?
