I currently have a version of netwatch (9.5) that is compiled for the 3c501
which I have in my xt (slow).  I just pulled 9.6 executable and started the
packet driver on my xt.  I started netwatch and it appears to work.
I see packets being displayed.  However, I most often set a a filter to
only capture IP packets.  When I do this (T IP) it does not capture
any packets (which there are lots of on the wire).  I did a T and then ?
just to make sure IP is still listed and it is.  Is this a problem
with netwatch?  Could it be the packet driver -- ncsa works over this same
driver.  It is version 5.0.
I would really like to able to run netwatch on some of my other faster
machines.

Appreciate any help.

Jim
