Subject: [WBEL-users] Traffic Monitor

Can anybody point me in the direction of a good traffic monitor. I would 
really like in particular detailed email checks, just in case we get a 
client with a virus which starts spamming.

I would like for this to be affordable or 'free', I don't want to spend 
$500 per year (if I did stuff like that, why would I be on this list?  :)  )

I need to be able to monitor servers on a remote network where I do not 
have direct access to the router. I sure would like for the reports to 
be created in html or some such, where I could reach them via my browser.

TIA

Check out www.ntop.org

It's open source, easy to setup and has a web-based reporting interface.

Check out www.nagios.org for serious network/system monitoring. Not hard to setup but does require an investment of your time.
