    First I thought that my modem lights was doing
    what you describe. That is the top window stays at zero most of the time.
    But if you generate network traffic you will see that the register
    changes giving non-zero values. For example when typing this mail the
    register is at zero when I am not typing. Are you sure this is not the
    behavior that you are seeing?
