Sure. But the best I could do with Livingston's current SNMP
implementation was graph interfaces.ifNumber.0, the current # of network
(ppp/slip) connections on a PM (including the ethernet port & WAN port if
graphing a 2ER). You won't be able to graph usage by dumb terminal
users...but it's close enough.
