Utilities
RNetTraf is a rewrite of the original NetTraf client to provide better integration with modern Windows and Linux systems. It mostly duplicates the look and functionality of the original NetTraf client except that, on Windows, it uses the current windows widget styles rather than the old 9x style.

Known Issues
The current version (v1.0) has a number of quirks but v2.0 should be ready someday to fix those. Until v2.0 is ready, you'll have to live with the following:
- RNetTraf may not always automatically reconnect when the connection to the server is dropped.
- The Send/Recvd counters (in the status bar) may occasionally get a little inaccurate (showing negative numbers).
- The graphs aren't very smart and can run a little slow when very large.
I've noticed some unusual behaviour when multiple NetTraf clients are connected to the same server. One client may be correctly showing a lot of activity while the other is showing little or none. Restarting the affected client normally corrects it (for that client at least). I'm not certain at this time if this is a bug in RNetTraf or the NetTraf server.
Missing Features
Currently the indicator between the two graphs and in the system tray just shows if there is data going in (green) or out (red). The option to show levels (the "Use the new taskbar icon style" option in the original client) is not available at this time but will return in v2.0.
