Also take a look at Network General's Sniffer.  Like the Execlan model, it's
based on a PC compatible.  It includes a disassemblers for almost all the
major protocols at all the different levels, the ability to save and restore
data from the buffer and the ability to write your own dissassemblers if
they don't have it (which is very unlikly).  They have an Ethernet version,
and a Token Ring version.  It also has the ability to filter packets based
on station and contents.  You can call them at (408) 734-0464.

Jerry Whitnell                           It's a damn poor mind that can only
Communication Solutions, Inc.            think of one way to spell a word.
