Hello,
My company is about to purchase an ethernet protocol analyzer and has narrowed
the choice down to two machines, THE SNIFFER from Network General and The
LanAlyzer from Excelan. Anyone who has used either of these two devices and
has anything either good or bad to say about them, I'd appreciate it. We're
interested in things like packet capture rate, completeness of protocol
interpretation, and ease of use. If anyone has done a study similar to ours,
please do not hesitate to call or email. Please, no salesmen, we're not look-
ing for hype.                        Thanks, gregb
