Hi
I've searched, but cannot find one

Is there a way to display 3G/Wifi signal strength on a meter display, near the volume/Firewall indicators in the lower r/h corner of the screen?
If not, can someone provide one, as a dotpet, thanks

I made a suggestion to the Saluki thread:

OK, thanks
I hope for non-Frisbee suggestions also

Thanks Phil...I followed links to here

installed the slacko dotpet and voila RutilT in the tray, showing the interface power levels....for wifi at least...do you know if it works for 3G connections?

I now need to find out why my signal is fluctuating so badly from 20% to 67%....
At the moment I'm 7 feet from the router and getting slowdowns....youtube almost freezes, and my PC is hugely fast dual xeon 3.06Ghz/5Gb ram/nvidia 256mb accelerated....running Aurora 7.01 plus Flash 11.1r102...???

Edit:

There is an old program called Umtsmon, which appears unsupported since 2008, which apparently had that facility

any takers...?
