I am getting an IBM RS/6000 Real Soon Now, and will be using it for some LAN
monitoring studies.  I need to place the IEEE 802.3 adapter into "promiscuous"
mode, so that it will forward all traffic to my software.

I am aware that this has been done on various Sun and DEC platforms - has
anyone seen any PD code for RS/6000 AIX?

Thanks in advance.
