I really miss net medic, which doesn't work on windows vista, I'm lost
without it. Net Medic worked on all windows from Win98 through to XP but
not vista (sob). Is there any equivalent program that will do the same
as net medic and work on windows vista? For those not familiar with net
medic it was a data speed monitoring program, it ran in a small window
and worked a bit like a speedo in a car and showed live data feed as it
was happening.
thanks for any pointers.

yeah both these links look good thankyou Jack. I'm currently trying
Netmeter, after a bit of fiddling I can even make the colour scheme
resemble net medic so that's comforting (ha ha).

Also, in browsing through Sidebar gadgets, I believe I have seen gadgets
for this purpose.

I didn't want to install one, so I didn't examine their properties, and
thus I can't say how (or even whether) they work.

thanks for your feedback gene, I looked into additional gadgets and lo
and behold I did see a gadget for this. Ironically it was called
wireless speed monitor but it worked great on my lan connection and the
data graph part of the display almost duplicated netmeter.

Good.

I had noticed separate gadgets for wired and wireless. Nice to know the
difference might be bogus.

Currently, this computer is wired to the router, but one of these days I
plan to switch to wireless (Although I seem to be in no hurry!). It's nice
to know that if I install one of these applets I might be OK either way.
