[Iftop-users] Simple text output

[Philippe Faure]

I did manage to get it to work.  There will be some scripting  
invovled. The issue that I have come across is that most traffic  
accounting packages that I have found seem to look at all data through  
an interface, and don't allow the user to limit the information to a  
single IP address.

I will keep looking though.

Thank you

Philippe
