+EtherApe is a graphical network monitor modeled after etherman. Featuring
+Ethernet, IP, TCP, FDDI and Token Ring modes, it displays network activity
+graphically. Hosts and links change in size with traffic. Color coded protocols
+display.
+
+It supports Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring, ISDN, PPP and SLIP devices. It can
+filter traffic to be shown, and can read traffic from a file as well as live
+from the network.
+
+To set the kdesu su wrapper when called from the GUI desktop pass KDESU=yes to
+the SlackBuild. This is not the default option, but if not enabled etherape
+will not monitor the ports if not called by root.
+
+EtherApe requires libgnomeui. It is available from slackbuilds.org.
+
+Scrollkeeper is disabled by this SlackBuild. If you want to enable it, the
+comments in the SlackBuild can be helpful.
