Looking for replacement for Windows taskbar internet connection icon.

[schrodinger's cat]

I recently upgraded from dial-up to DSL and lost the utility of the icon
that Windows networking puts in the taskbar. On my Win98 system there is
no option at all to show an icon for a LAN instead of a dial-up
connection. On my WinXP Pro system the icon is available, but it is
useless for showing the actual throughput. Instead it only shows a
static and wildly inaccurate 100.0 Mbps on mouse-over.

I would like to find a freeware network app that would put an icon in
the systray for both Win98 and WinXP, that would show network activity
by lighting up, and that would report the actual throughput on
mouse-over, preferably the current speed on-the-fly, but minimally the
initial connect speed.

Thanks.

PS Talked about you last night with a friend. He claimed you died. I
disagreed, you could be, but you could be alive also. You're confusing.
