Yes, any board with a packet driver. Stay away from the ni5010 and 3c501, they only have 2K packet buffers. If you know any good PD ethernet monitoring software, please let me know also. Release 6.x of the Clarkson collection of packet drivers will have MIT's PC/IP programs, including netwatch. This is courtesy of Dan Lanciani (who compiled it for the packet drivers) and Joe Doupnik (who modified netwatch for the packet drivers). -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 Violence never solves problems, it just changes them into more subtle problems
