There is a dockit app called wmppp that Monitors throughput, connection, and disconnection. Not sure if you need WMaker installed though to run it. It still requires the ppp-on, ppp-of, and ifdown scripts to work. But it does come with getmodemspeed to get the modem speed (wow couldnt have figured that one on your own ey :). Its small, which makes is nice to have on the Desktop.
