Hi

Apologies for this simple question.

My internet (ISDN) connection refuses to close down after the specified 
idle time - 4 mins - ie some process is making it stay up.

There is a utility/command that is similar to 'tail -f /var/log/---' for 
files that shows you all network traffic as it occurs. I've used it 
before but I must have thrown the reference to it away and no matter of 
looking through manuals, Books, google etc can i find it.

My connection has now been up for a day and a half, thank god for 
Surftime 24/7, and as my security is for dial up i'm beginning to get 
concerned.

Thanks in advance


Andy
