Sorry, but our basic Developer's Kit is oriented towards people who want to
write applications that use TCP, UDP, etc.  It doesn't really help if what
you want to do is monitor networks.

We do sell a network monitor, LANWatch, which is derived from the MIT Netwatch.
It comes with source for the filtering, packet parsing and packet display
routines, with the intention that users be able to add their own support for
types we don't understand (either we haven't gotten to them, or they are
sufficiently unique that we probably won't do them ourselves).  Some people
who want to modifiy Netwatch might find this to be an adequate substitute...
