  I have a small Netware 411 10BASE-T network that is growing (1 server, CAT
5, 4 hubs, 24 users).  I'll soon have another 10 nodes.  Are there statistics
in the LAN/WAN section of MONITOR that I can use to see how much bandwidth is
being used?  How about a freeware/demo/shareware utility?  I'll pay for
"regular" software if I have to, but can't spend much.	If I had some network
monitoring software it would help me decide what new hardware I'll need.

  I'd like to plan ahead and get a 10/100 hub to provide a fatter connection
to the server and a few power users.  If it is justified, I'd also like to
buy a switch to be the backbone of the network.

Thanks for any suggestions,
 Tom Benson
