	Are there any netwatch programs for AppleTalk networks similar to
etherfind or tcpdump?  We've got two Apple LaserWriters on a phonenet which
we drive using CAP through a kbox.  One LW works fine 95+% of the time, the
other seems like it gets wedged on at least half the jobs.  What I'd like
to do is take a Mac, plug it in right next to the bogus LW and keep records
of all network activity.  At the same time, I'll be running etherfind
and/or tcpdump on the ethernet side of the kbox with the hope that I'll be
able to look at all the packet traces after a problem and figure out what's
going on.  Well, that's the plan anyway; I'm probably crazy for thinking
I'll get anywhere.
