        There are several methods.  Here is one that does not depend on
m0n0wall for this function.  Wire things like so:

[m0n0wall] -- [hub] -- [switch] -- [your PCs]

Connect another PC to the hub and use a program like BWMeter
(desksoft.com).  The hub is necessary to duplicate all packets flowing
between the network and m0n0wall.  An alternative to a hub would be to
use a smart switch that can be configured to duplicate all packets, but
if you have a hub lying around that's a cheap solution.
