Hi,

I will test it later to see, but AFAIR this should be
running/moving/live graph presentation of signal strength and data
transfer (load/speed) done in ASCII, so a bit rough. Not as nice as
done in 'properly graphical' way, but usable. If you have steady signal
strength, it is not obvious, but when you move a bit, you could see the
change. Just guessing now - # is for signal, v is download momentary
speed and ^ is for upload.

Regards,
Milan
