the activity or if it would just tell me that there was activity. Any suggestions?
More info would be helpful - what is a "major increase"?
Do you have a router that can monitor where the traffic is going, and how much traffic?
When you write "some were checking my email" does that mean your IT was going to your email account and checking for new messages or do you mean someone was forwarding your email elsewhere so they could check it?
I've left my IT at home, but I'm sure there must be some way to run top and log what processes are going on.
/edit
If your running your IT wireless netstumbler may help.
There's also a bunch of tools here
