Does anyone know of a cheap (<$200.00) or shareware packet decoder for a PC that will work with a 3Com ethernet card? We have some folks hooking up their student labs Ethernet to the administrative Ethernet with only a repeater, not a bridge. I've warned them that a student could decode sensitive data, but I don't think any of them really believe it's that easy. Thanks in advance, Steven Lendt Network Manager University of Nebraska at Omaha Inet: Network@Zeus.UNOmaha.EDU Bitnet: Network@UNOMA1

Cost is zero, and you can get all the source code. Anonymous ftp to VMS VAX netlab.usu.edu 129.123.1.11, look in directory [anonymous.netwatch] and read the read.me before transferring everything in sight. Obtain Packet Drivers from sun.soe.clarkson.edu. After you have it running for a while there will be no question about eavesdropping abilities. Then think if you want to encourage this by leading people to the solution. Joe D.
