I am looking for a good general purpose ethernet analyzer.  I know of
the HP4972A and Excelan's model.  Does anyone have any opinions about these
or does anyone have another brand that they can recommend?

I am asking for a general purpose model because I don't know what kind of
procedures you would want to do with analyzers.  I really need it to isolate
a problem we are currently having on our lan but it would be nice to be able to
do other things later on.  I just don't know what they would be.  If anyone
wants to elaborate on what kind of operations are commonly done with ethernet
analyzers, I will be glad to read it.
