At the meeting I mentioned a nifty tool called IPTState that give you
a top-like interface for watching your network connections.  It's a
nifty tool I stumbled on while looking at Phil Dibowitz's website
after he gave a talk.  Have a look at the screenshot.  It's really
cool when you turn on DNS lookups and it maps port numbers using
entries from your /etc/services file.  I gave a quick demo on it at
least once either when I gave my asterisk talk or port knocking
presentation.

Here's an example:
