These days, MyVitalAgent is no longer downloadable from Alcatel Lucent, so where do you get a copy?

You can easily locate a download using a Web search for "MyVitalAgent download" or similar. Or you can get it from my own website here or here (roughly halfway down the page, do a page search for "vital" to find it fast).

I'm well aware that there are many networking tools for designed enterprise-scale environments (such as SolarWinds Orion Network Performance Monitor, and many others) but here I'm talking about tools fit for the individual's desktop system.

Apart from MyVitalAgent, I've tried a few other desktop networking monitors but none of them appealed to me.

If you know of any others with really nice user interfaces, I'd love to hear about them from you via the iTWire comments system.

By the way, don't forget to have some fun and a challenge or two that I've devised for you!. Visit the iTWire TechWords Interactive Crosswords and word search puzzles section.
