there's http://packages.debian.org/<search-string-here> which
may help. see newbieDoc.sf.net/system/apt-get-intro.html (items
7 and 12, specifically) for more ideas...

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #98 from Joost Kooij <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Curious about your NETWORK TRAFFIC? There's iptraf, showtraf,
netwatch, tcpview, statnet, and tcpdump, which uses its own
filters from the specification you give it on the command line:
tcpdump host foo
tcpdump not port ssh
tcpdump port 53
tcpdump arp
Try "man tcpdump" for more info.
