Its been a while since I used it, but I know I modified the install to  
monitor both interfaces on the gateway I had to get the full picture.

I seem to remember just using the graphs on eth1 (connected to the adsl  
router) to show peak usage.  It could be that this will also show you  
total usage, but I wasn't concerned with that.

Sorry I can't be of more help having suggested this in the first place!

p.s.  I still think teh best suggestion was using the counters on the ADSL  
router!
