Me too, just look at http://stats.cynisk.net/10.0.0.1_2.html ! Nice huh? 
And this pretty output only required me to run the command "mrtgcfgmaker 
public@<m0n0wall IP> >mrtg.conf" and set up a cron job to run "mrtg 
mrtg.conf" every 5 minutes. It could probably be made prettier, but it 
makes a good start.

The MRTG site at http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/ is a 
good start. 
http://www.rescomp.berkeley.edu/about/training/senior/progs/SNMP-HOWTO/SNMP-HOWTO.html 
is another which explains the SNMP protocol a little more in detail, 
with focus on ucd-snmp (which is what m0n0wall uses).
