we're thinking of getting an Ethernet monitor/analyzer for some
TOP work.  we need to examine packets/frames, to select frames
meeting certain criteria, etc.  i've seen some monitors that
know about XNS or TCP/IP packet types and display per those formats.
i'm aware of the existence of CMC's, HP's, and Excelan's products,
but not their capabilities.  do any of them already support the
TOP protocol stack thru, say, transport?  or, can i teach any of
these about the various PDU formats?

i suspect parts of this have been discussed before.  does anyone
remember what was discussed?  can anyone suggestive creative uses
of such tools that might otherwise illude a novice user?  thanks!
