	I have been quite for too long after posting the
	screen shot of the ISDN status monitor. Here is
	my current status.

	The original version was written in Perl. But had
	a number of problems with the graphs and I hate
	maintaining Perl code. Further the gdchart software
	is feature poor for this application. (Cannot chart
	Tx and Rx against time). 

	The current version is implemented in Python and is
	a nice clear and maintainable implementation.

	The python version has the following feature:
	* Three ways to graph the Tx and Rx data
	* Control over the length of time the graph
	  shows
	* Control over number of log lines shown
	* Control over number of accounting lines shown
	* Style sheets used to allow user colour
	  preferences to be used.

	I cannot easily release a kit until the Python Image
	Library (PIL) comes out of beta. I've been finding
	bugs in it that will be fixed in the next PIL kit.

	The Python and PIL folks are talking about releasing
	at the start of March. I'll take the release kits and 
	run against them then release ISDN status.
