Message-ID: <9006280028.AA19125@ccnucd.Denver.Colorado.EDU> Date: 28 Jun 90 00:25:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 14 We have an opportunity to procure a LAN analyzer. We budgeted $15,000, but now there is pressure to divert some of this amount to more visible direct user benefits... So now we're trying to strike a compromise on a portable '386sx, with LANWatch from FTP Software. Please comment if you have some relevant experience: would an old luggable 8088 or 8086-based machine be adequate or is the 386sx very beneficial? Is this software/ethercard/PC system going to help us debug sick ether segments or should we hold out (or wait) for the high-priced dedicated hardware solution. Thanks for the help. /** --poko "Please note the new ZIP+4; old addressing MAY be forwarded."
