Be Gentle folks, I am a baby OpenSuSe 11.2 user 
In windows Vista, there is a world in the systray when you are Internet connected and not just local.
I have searched all over for a .RPM for the Network Manager or another packeg in Suse that can show me the same thing or something close.
I am having flaky ISP, it dies at 10:30pm and comes back up at 7:am every day.. I need something to track connection, speed, time connected and speed of connection.
Any Frontend software ware i can get would be wonderful..
Thanks folks.
Don
