I want to monitor ppp0 instead of eth0 since I use dialup instead of broadband.

I just need to give it the command
--device=ppp0

X programs start from your .xinitrc file in the home directory. What is starting wmnet among others is enhance Using the command whereis
whereis enhance
Shows that enhance is in /usr/bin/enhance
Using the command file
file /usr/bin/enhance
shows that it is a perl script, so finally
cat /usr/bin/enhance
Shows in fact that wmnet is called in this script.

If you are running from liveCD you cannot change this script. If hard drive installed then edit the script with your mod. Otherwise, you can copy this script to home directory and them modify the script and then modify .xinitrc to call the local copy of the script. Be sure to place these items in the your filetool.lst so that they are in the backup/restore. Another way is to replace the enhance call in the .xinitrc with the individual calls to each one in ehance and there add your mod there.
