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.
