But I like the freedom.  You can do something, I can do something, and we are 
al happy.  But I hope mine solution will be better :)  (without competion

I already did.  But that gives only longterm statistics.  For real time 
statistics, you need the data directly from the router.  

I prefer a cross-platform solution.  Even if it means that you loose some 
functionality.  It's possible that VB is better/handier then java, but I go 
for java.
