  Re: TCP/IP Ethernet Protocol Analyzer (Chris Jankowski)

  I would like to clarify the statement made about Spider's monitoring
  products in the recent communications about the above.
  
  Spider Systems has two network monitoring/analyzing products, the
  SpiderMonitor 220, and the SpiderAnalyzer 320. The SpiderMonitor 220
  is a multi-tasking network monitor which provides extensive monitoring
  facilities, and some protocol analysis - TCP/IP, DECnet, Novell Netware,
  AppleTalk and XNS decodes to the ISO Transport layer, and ISO to Network
  layer. The SpiderAnalyzer 320 provides the same extensive monitoring
  facilities as the SpiderMonitor 220, plus powerful packet capture and
  decoding capabilities; full decode to Application layer of TCP/IP, DECnet,
  Novell Netware, and AppleTalk protocols, and to Transport layer of ISO. 

  The demonstration diskette for the SpiderMonitor products shows only
  the SpiderMonitor 220's decoding capabilities. I think that this may have
  led to the mistaken assumption that Spider's decodes are incomplete and
  of low quality.
