Hi, I'm wondering if the Sniffer (from Network General) LAN analyser cards will work in other PCs besides the Compaq and Toshiba machines our local distributor recommends. It seems a little strange that Network General isn't interested in making the card run in as many PCs as possible. Perhaps somebody knows what requirements the card has from the PC or knows whether the card will run in a Unisys PC (I think the high end ones are based on an Intel motherboard). Oh, we're especially interested in the 802.3 card, if it makes a difference. BTW, if anyone has saved a collection of reviews on LAN analysers, I'd appreciate a copy. We particularly need OSI analysis capabilities at least up to and including Layer 4. Regards, Andrew

It will work in other PC's....it is just that Network General currently provides support for their recommended units only. If you want to take on the responsibility, try it. Obviously I don't speak for NG.
