Thanks, that will do the trick for checking my download speed.  But so far
as uploading I would like to be able to monitor the speed at which I am
pushing files in realtime from my machine.

The problem is while scrolling up and down a webpage, sometimes I click the
wheel and jump back a page, so I would like to keep the scrolling
functionality and disable the scroll button click.  	I am using a PS/2
intellimouse on mouse configuration the "Emulate 3 button click is
UNCHECKED"

promise you that for the last 2 weeks this is what it looked like:
[cosmo]$ ftp
