   However, from what I see on the net, some people prefer either a
   dedicated TDR (one guy insists on an analog display), or the HP
   product (LAN Probe?) for hardware issues.

The HP prodcuts are LAN Probe, which is a full-time monitor, network
mapper, and all that, and the 4972 LAN Analyzer.  Originally, the 4972
was mostly a HW-ish instrument, able to genereate illegal packets at
10 Mbits, for example, but now it includes decodes for TCP, NFS, and
lots of other stuff.
