Hello,

Looking for recommendations concerning Ethernet monitoring software.

	The need:	Overall Statistics
			- % utilization
			- # of collisions

			Individual Node Statistics
			- # of packets generated
			- # of errors
			- # of retransmissions

	Basicly I am looking for something to give a good picture of the
	net at a particular time and a given time interval. There are
	most likely other statistics I should be looking at, and if you
	could point me in the right direction I would appreicate it.

To save some dollars on hardware I need it to run on a PC-AT or similar
machine with a vanilla ethernet card. Any comments or directions even
constructive flames would be appreicated.

Thanks,

Mark
