What graphical performance monitors are available for Linux?  I'd like
something like the Windows 95/98 System Monitor.  Also, is there some kind
of monitor to indicate a PPP connection is alive, like the one in the
Windows system tray?  Thanks.

There's always plain old-fashioned top. There's tload.
For X11, there are xload, glload, qps, gtop, and various load monitor
applets for various window managers as well as for KDE and Gnome.

Again, there are a couple different apps to do this, the nicest ones
are probably the Gnome panel applets (modemlights and dialer).

Try xosview.

KDE has one of those.

There is something better! have a look at

http://windowmaker.mezaway.org/dockapps/dockapps.html

These were designed for the WindowMaker/AfterStep dock (wharf), but they
should work with any window manager.
Wmmon shows CPU load, Memory usage, and Disk I/O.
Wmppp is particularly nice, because it has not only those flashing tx/rx
lights, but it will launch your ppp scripts, and has a graph of your
throughput.
