All three products use boards that have something at least as powerful as an 80186, 10 Mhz, and 512KB of RAM. The top-of-the-line LANalyzer has even more horsepower on-board. Please try and be more careful about making statements about the products of competitors in a public forum. Here you will get caught. Unfortunately spreading wrong competitive information directly rarely is! Welcome to the U.S.A. Spider!
