Cheap Network Monitoring

I have just found a very simple network monitoring software package. Monitors ICMP (i.e. PING) and disk statistics and sends alerts via SMTP, Lotus Notes and NET SEND commands. Also, has a nice feature in that it allows the user to use their own network drawing as a background for the application. Looks sweet when running. Software is called VMonitor and is available at WWW.BEARSOFTWARESOLUTIONS.COM
