I am looking for a tool that allows me to monitor sockets and to kill
sockets that are left open by crashed applications (e.g. Netscape).
The problem is, that these sockets are always opening my
isdn-connection - and that is a waste of money !

Thanks for any help,
Mark

No, I have closed all privileged ports with ipchains and I am
experiencing the problem whenever netscape or staroffice with network
connection are crashing on a linux client.
