hi,

   we have a client with a 128k ISDN link which they're using to access
   a Citrix Metaframe box.  the users on the remote network are complaining
   bitterly that they get intermittent periods of slow response.
   the server is fine so the next thing to test would be the link.

   the company which looks after the link seems to be rather clue resistant
   and just giving me a capture file from a win32 packet sniffer recorded
   when the network _isn't_ slow
   
   the router supposedly supports SNMP but aforementioned support company
   wants to charge $5000 for some software to use it. (yes that is 3 zeroes)

   they've got a linux box onsite and I'd love to use it to provide some sort
   of usage stat's for the link
   
   anyone done this before?
   
thanks,
